Adding Utilites to NetBoot Sets?

We include DiskWarrior on a diagnostic NetBoot image. It's very useful.

You can do just about anything with AutoCasperNBI by adding packages to your workflow. Our provisioning team uses Disk Utility without issue. Our security polices require secure wipes before Macs can be re-deployed and that's how they do it. We customized our image to include a small AppleScipt-based app for nuking encrypted volumes and auto-launching Casper Imaging. We customize our Dock too. I'm not too familiar with the licensing policies of Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro anymore, but if they do requires licenses and those licenses are stored in files, you could just package the license files along with those apps.

We're adding some 3rd Party Utilities to our NBI's soon.

One thing to advise, don't reduce the NBI. Or reduce it & thoroughly test the apps.

ACNBI deletes stuff when reducing the NBI that might stop some 3rd party apps from running.

What's the best way to inject an ACNBI image with apps? I assume that I need create .pkgs for each app and feed said package(s) into ACNBI > Options > Install additional Packages?

@dstranathan Correct.

@dstranathan that & customising the root user is why that feature is there. :)

Be careful with licensing and adding extra software to an NBI. Some tools like ipartition will lock out if you use it on to many Macs.

You may have to purchase a site or engineer licence for others.
