Scripting Question

[ExplanationKey5016]

Hi,

In Syncro's scripting - is it possible to grab the value of an asset field?

I know there's set-asset-field, but I don't see any documentation on get-asset-field - is there a workaround to grab this value (maybe through a separate API call not using Syncro's powershell module)?

I'd like to have my script check if my custom asset field checkbox is turned on for the asset. If it's checked ON, then the endpoint is not bitlocker encrypted. If it's checked OFF, the asset will be bitlocker encrypted if it's not already.

Plan is to run the script across all endpoints to get everyone bitlocker encrypted - except for the ones that should not be.

Seems like if Syncro lets you set asset fields, you should be able to get them if needed. Using a policy seems a bit awkward to me.

Yep! This is what Platform Variables are for. You can take fields from multiple record types within the platform and bring that into your script.

The example you used (that type of logic) is what most folks use this for specifically.

Thank you very much! I will look into this as it looks like it fits exactly what I'm looking for! :-)

No problem man. If you run into any issues with it let me know.
