[Casper] Capturing initial setup

[Nichols, Jared]

Yes, I've tried that.  The initial setup appears to be a partial boot and those services aren't up yet at that stage.

I think I've found someone that can capture DVI out to another machine with a special box and will use that.

Thanks

Have you tried forcing the setup assistant on a computer that has
Apple Remote Desktop configured and enabled?  Then you could take the
screen shots from a remote computer running the ARD Admin software.
