I'm having problems net booting to some devices now. I've got a new Mac Mini with lion but i need to redo the net install image. It seems that the Casper Netinstall app thats in the resource kit doesn't work with 10.7. Anyone know where to go with this? I've seen some people mention about a new Casper Workflow!

I just finished the CCA class and they said that with 10.7 you have to use a new automater action that builds the Netboot image for you. The automater is in the latest version of the Resource Kit.

Unless they've updated it which they haven't AFAIK it doesn't work. I just make a manual NetBoot image. Supposedly they also fixed the issue where you don't have login as root, but I've kept this as JAMF has a habit of breaking things like that. If you're just looking for NetInstall you can use the standard SIU from Apple to make one of those as well.

I just built a workflow around it and it worked for me. I used OSX 10.7.4 and SIU 10.7.
