# Purpose: each run of Casper Remote generates a new policy that's
# stored in the Jamf Pro server. However, those policies are not visible and
# the server has no means to allow administrators to delete them. This
# script identifies all Jamf Pro policies with names in the format:
#    '2013-08-07 at 4:18 PM | jsanchez | 1 Computer'
# and deletes them.
#
# 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) Save and run this script via Terminal or an editor with a "run script" feature.
# 3) Verify policies in your Jamf Pro server or by appending /api to your Jamf Pro URL.
