Hello
I am currently planning to a staged rollout of 65 new macbooks, imacs and macbook pros.I have a NetBoot server in place, which will run a Netinstall set and partition the disk 2 ways. 1 partition holds the OS, and the other will take the user's home folder.
I have the NetBoot running at a nice pace now, and am happy with this stage of the process. The Casper suite is preinstalled on the Netinstall image I am using.Where I am having an issue, is with finding the best way to to get the rest of the applications added.
Would it be possible to use Casper Imaging for this, or should I try something else?(CS3/CS4, After Effects, Office 2008, Final Cut Xpress, iLife and other applications as required, to be installed on first boot.)If I were to use the Casper Admin application to create a configuration, what would be the best way of getting this set of apps out to the new machines? (Bearing in mind that I will need this deployment to be carried out by people with less Mac knowledge than I would like, meaning I need this to be completed with as little end interaction as possible).
