#
# Purpose: Uploads a list of buildings to your Jamf Pro server by reading a
# BuildingsList.txt file or a list pasted into this script. When used
# with DownloadBuildingsList.sh, a Jamf Pro administrator can start with a list
# from an old Jamf Pro server, clean up the text and then upload the text
# to another Jamf Pro server.
#
# The script creates a log file in the same folder as the script.

# INSTRUCTIONS

# 1) Modify URL, userName and passWord below to access your Jamf Pro server.
# 2) Edit the buildingsList variable below or modify the script to "cat" a text file with the list.
# 3) Save and run this script via Terminal or an editor with a "run script" feature.
# 4) Verify buildings in your Jamf Pro server.
