Extension Attribute to Retrieve Xprotect Last Modification Date from Clients

Hello,

I created an EA to pull the modification date from Xprotect so that admins can see what version of Xprotect is being used on client machines.

n.b. As Apple silently pushes Xprotect updates to clients if the service is enabled on the machine, the data this EA collects is a snapshot of Xprotect status at time of inventory and might not be the current status on a client machine.

To use, create a new EA that looks like this using the script below.

#!/bin/sh

#Pulls Sophos version string from Sophos Anti-Virus.app

XPROTECT=defaults read /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta LastModification

echo "<result>$XPROTECT</result>"

exit 0
