mcxquery(1) BSD General Commands Manual mcxquery(1)NAME
mcxquery -- Managed Client (MCX) compositor query tool
SYNOPSIS
mcxquery [options] [-user recordName] [-group recordName] [-computer spec]
options:
-o path Writes output to a file at the specified path.
-format space | tab | xml Specifies the format of the output.
-computerOnly Ignore values for -user and -group.
-useCache Return the cached computer settings in the local node if they are available.
-raw Dumps Directory Service data for records contributing to managed preferences.
-forApple Convenience for specifying options when sending bug reports to Apple. Currently enables "-raw" and "-for-
mat xml". See usage example below.
DESCRIPTION
mcxquery is a utility to determine the effective managed preferences for a user logging in to a workgroup from a specific computer.
-user Specify the short name of the user record to read managed preferences from. If this parameter is omitted, or a value of "=" speci-
fied, the short name of the currently logged in console user will be used.
-group Specify the short name of the group record to read managed preferences from. A value of "=" may be specified to mean the name of
the workgroup (if any) chosen for the current login session.
-computer Specify the computer record to read managed preferences from. The computer can be specified using either an Ethernet MAC address
(e.g. "11:22:33:44:55:66"), a Hardware UUID (e.g. "00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF") or the short name of the computer record
itself (e.g. "lab1_12"). If this parameter is omitted, or a value of "=" specified, the record for the current computer will be
used.
EXAMPLES
mcxquery -user jane -group science -computer lab1_12
Displays the managed preferences that would be in effect if user "jane" logged in using workgroup "science" from the computer speci-
fied in the "lab1_12" computer record.
mcxquery -user jane -group science -computer 11:22:33:44:55:66
Displays the managed preferences that would be in effect if user "jane" logged in using workgroup "science" from a computer with an
Ethernet MAC address of 11:22:33:44:55:66.
mcxquery -user = -group = -computer guest
Displays the managed preferences that would be in effect if the current user logged in using the current workgroup into a computer
not specified by any computer record (i.e. a "guest" computer).
mcxquery -user jane -group math
Displays the managed preferences that would be in effect if the user "jane" logged into the "math" workgroup on the current com-
puter.
mcxquery -o /tmp/report.txt -format xml -user jane
Writes the managed preferences that would be in effect if user "jane" logged into the current computer without a workgroup. The
report is written in XML format to /tmp/report.txt.
mcxquery -computerOnly -computer lab1_12
Displays the managed preferences for the computer specified in the "lab1_12" computer record only. Useful for determining managed
settings when computer is at login window.
mcxquery -computerOnly -computer 00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF
Displays the managed preferences for the computer with the Hardware UUID "00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF". Supported on Mac OS
X 10.6 and later.
mcxquery -forApple -o results.plist
