[Casper] imaging mac

[Ernst, Craig S.]

The difference is two different boot protocols, PXE for Windows and BSDP for NetBoot on Macs. I suggest googling them for more info. Wikipedia will have info for PXE and Bombich will have good info about BSDP and how that works.

Thanks you so much for you quick response. Now before I talk to my network team I’d like to know how does a MAC boot with pxe knows to go to MAC build server and not to windows server or vs. versa?

Same deal here really. Using PXE to image windows machines with Microsoft SCCM OSD. Macs point to our NetBoot server for imaging with Casper. No issues. The routers are configured with the helper addresses across subnets. 3500 Windows and 500 Mac.

We have a dual platform environment where our “Windows” boxes pxe boot for use with Altiris and our Macs Netboot for use with Casper. No issues that I’m aware of.  I just had some dialogue with the Network Guru here and he said it hasn’t really been an issue for him either.     He just had to put the IP address for each in the helper file on the routers so we could boot across subnets.
Right now we have a couple thousand windows machines, and about five thousand macs across thirty some odd buildings, each on it’s own subnet.

Is anybody setup pxe/netboot in the environment where window build server are already running pxe and if pxe for mac is turned on, it will then interfere with windows devices?
