Netboot Problems :(

So in my mad netboot/deploy craze, I find that there are a few machines in the Mollye Lichter Block 24-hour computer lab that won't netboot proper...

This has halted the imaging process and has thrown me into RAGE@#!&...
So we are circumventing this issue with other methods.




I would like to take this time to say "kudos" to Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner...
It's a godsend.

Deploy Studio > NetRestore?!?

Warning: The content on this post was written while Richard Phung, the Labs & Classrooms Coordinator, held the title of Computer Lab Technician at the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University.... the content expressed here is out of date, at best.

Well, it looks like I may be changing the deploy method once again.
Bombich is no longer supporting NetRestore, and Deploy Studio is taking the reigns as the all-mighty network deploy scenario... it also leverages ASR and makes/deploys multicast images. I think this will be the best solution.

I have installed the DeployStudio Admin component onto the XServe, and now I will try to configure a NetBoot set via macbook.

Good stuff.
