Now What about user creation. I use system image utility to create a user account but that doesn't seem to work for NetInstall. Any ideas?
I get this error trying to add the .pkg files
What's int he pkg file you've made?
I made a user account and the skip the apple setup both two .pkg files.
When I follow your guide for the scripts what format do I save them as.
Do they have to be part of a .pkg file to work. I got the admin account to work but now need to skip the iCloud,timezone and all of that stuff.
David can you help me get the script customized?
I seems to need it to be part of a .pkg file to even run is there a way to just put in a script in system image utility.
Hi @kericson
The script needs to be run on first boot of the new OS. If you are using Casper, you just add the script to the Casper Admin configuration and set it to run at reboot once the imaging has finished.
If you are using something like DeployStudio you can use that to run a postponed script.
Failing that, you would need to package it and run it via a LaunchDaemon that delete after completion.
Is this any difference or changes with 10.11 El Capitain?
SIP is the main difference so any parts that were writing into /System (or other SIP protected areas) will need to be replaced with something else. We're using config profiles for a lot of it now.

I saw that same issue with some testing I was doing... I never follow up as I thought the .pkg I was using was old... maybe not flat?
I was thinking that it looks like in El Capitain Apple has really cleaned up System Image Utility, and that I should test a building an Netinstall with a JSS quick add .pkg in it..
However that is a long term plan/option and I needed to focus on getting El Capitain and FileVault working...

This is what I tried on a 10.11 and nothing happened:

There are a few things that have changed in 10.11 so this script won't work properly on anything other than 10.10.
We (Amsys) are currently working on our 10.11 first boot script. We have a working version but its not quite ready for the public eyes of github ;)
