  - my working solution with creds removed is shown below. You were CRUCIAL to getting this to work. Thank you so very much!!!

Unfortunately I get an error when trying to post this as code... hopefully users can zoom in on the image below.

I have an iCall period handler kicking off an iCall script that executes this bash file. Note, this does push the exported asm policies in xml format to an external SMB share and forces a cleanup.

 

In the event that the unix box has rm pointing to rm -i, I specify /bin/rm to prevent prompting for the clean up.

 

I will leave this run in TEST every 15 mins for an hour, when I am comfortable all is well, I will have it run every 28 days at 2am starting on Sunday. This is controlled with the iCall period handler.
