So this happened. And it’s not good. And now you might be worrying about how many MacBook Pros you manage that may be at risk.

Here’s a script that might help. Feed it a text file containing the serial numbers of all the 2015 MacBook Pros in your fleet and remediate the ones that are “eligible”. Data is output in CSV format, which you could redirect to a file.

How to use it (once you’ve downloaded and made it executable):

./mbpserialcheck.sh /path/to/inputfile.txt

To output directly to a CSV file:

./mbpserialcheck.sh /path/to/inputfile.txt > /path/to/outputfile.csv

If you can’t see the script in this post (Wordpress has issues embedding from GitHub on some mobile platforms), here’s a direct link for you: https://gist.github.com/neilmartin83/9b6b2163edb71e2e6e578df54f0d599a

Thanks to Nick Tong for the inspiration behind this. He wrote a Jamf Extension Attribute you can use that’ll tell you which MacBooks are eligible for recall the next time they submit inventory.
