I am having trouble with imaging using JSS 9.23. The machines will boot off the netboot server and pickup the correct autorun settings but when I click on image it acts like it is going to imaging goes through erase hd partition drives and then it quickly goes though the block copy then imaging hangs on ensuring system files are hidden. I have tried different images and updating the casper imaging version on the netboot image. the netboot is also diskless since I though that might be an issue as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated with this one.

I did end up changing the imaging version back to 9.22 and switched the netboot images that seemed to fix the issue for now.

@bwcollins

Is your distribution point a JDS, or a traditional AFP share point?

Do you use smart configurations? There is a known issue with 9.23 and 9.24 with Casper Imaging not seeing the full configuration IE partitions. It maybe related. Did you try using 9.22 or 9.21 as an alternative? It may solve this.
