Apple security update blocks Apple Ethernet drivers on OS X El Capitan

Usage and Config Patch
1

Got info forwarded to me over the weekend about Apple releasing a bad security update on Feb 28 that will block the ethernet driver on El Capitan. Apple has since released a new update to fix this issue. This is a really good article with the full details:

And the info from Apple after the fix was released:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205956

You may be thinking how can we fix the Mac with bigfix if the ethernet adapter is blocked. The Mac needs to restart in order for the block to happen after the update has been installed. So you can still force the new update from Apple to repair the blocked driver if it is found and the Mac is reporting into BigFix.

Posted a simple task to search Macs with the blocked ethernet driver and an action to run software update to get the fix from Apple on bigfix.me:

Test before using. Feel free to edit or comment as needed.

This is a pretty bad one, so thanks for creating a solution for it!

This is a minor things, but the relevance could be slightly simplified into the following:

exists lines whose (it contains "com.apple.iokit.AppleBCM5701Ethernet" OR it contains "com.apple.iokit.AppleYukon2") of files "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext/Contents/Info.plist"

That’s a good point and that relevance is better. I typed that up pretty quickly without thinking, so thanks for the suggestion! I just updated that on bigfix.me as well.
