[Casper] mass deploying server

[Dorey, Dustin]

If you are using one of the netinstall sets created by the casper netinstall creater from the resource kit I didn’think you could ARD in?

We’ve been having issues with that since we were netbooting tons of machines and then kicking them off in batches remotely with ARD during our summer imaging.  And with the netinstall set created from the resource kit we haven’t been able to do that.   Are we just missing something here?

Do you image them remotely with ARD admin?

I am managing servers via Casper. 

 

I have created an OS package/image using Composer after installing Mac OS X Server, but before configuring any services. 

 

I change the serial number and network settings via serversetup ( found at /System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup) and networksetup scripts.

	I know this has been asked before but I am looking at different methods of installing OS X server at our work.  It seems like one of the ways that on paper may work the best is just creating an image of the installer DVD and then using the bless command to have the servers netboot to that image and installing it over ARD admin. 

	 

	Anyone done this?  Are you using casper?  How do you handle post image configurations and license serial numbers for the OS X Server? 

	 

	thanks
