so even though imaging a boot camp partition is no officially supported we decided to take the plunge. we have successfully captured the windows image following the instructions from the resource kit however i cant get it to deploy. casper imaging indicates it completes successfully i am left with just a mac partition. i have tried the jamf script to deploy and i tried thomas larkins script to partition on the fly and then deploy the windows image but i cant get either to work. im sure i am missing out on some relevant details that people may need but any help at this point would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    As far as useless information goes, I will mention that I am currently having the same problem.

    Thanks.

    Did you install ntfsprogs and gptrefresh on the boot image that you are using? I've forgotten that before.

    You need to have those both installed on your netboot image as well. Did you create the image with the scripts provided?

    Try mounting your casper share and then running the script. It should
    run just like when you image it and you can see if there are any errors
    it puts in terminal, then copy/paste them in an email to the list.

    It definitely works, I used them to image 6,000 Macbooks over the last
    summer.

    Part of my problem lies in not being able to get ntfsprogs, as the site that is given to download it is not valid. I had substituted this for MacFuse with NTFS-3G, which includes a build of NTFS progs.

    Could this be causing my problem?

    I tried to replay to all and attach the two files you need, but it is pending approval. combined they are under 1.9MB so not sure if they are going to let me attach it or not.

    If it doesn't go through I can post them on my FTP or you can email me directly and I can attach them to you
