Hi everyone.
Sorry if this turns out to be answered already. I have been reading through these discussions for 3 days trying to figure out how to make this work right.
I have arrived at the point where I have a working Lion image on an external hard drive.
Following directions from the 7th reply (Bukira's response) in this thread: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/featureRequest.html?id=70
If I boot to the external I can use Casper Imaging and NetInstall Launchpad fine (except sometimes when I exit Casper Imaging and try to relaunch it from the Lauchpad it opens up twice, same with Disk Utility). Besides that everything still works when I use Casper Imaging to image a new configuration of Base 10.7.4 [a separate --fresh-- image I made after the external, from an alternate MacBookPro while the iMac was in target disk mode] and a few programs and plugins etc.
When I use System Image Utility to capture the external image it works fine, create the .nbi folder and I move it to the server, activate it, check diskless and save. I can boot to it on the new iMac but then stuff acts funny in Launchpad and Casper Imaging. When I actually get Casper Imaging all ready to go and start the install (On the same iMac where the install worked flawlessly with the external image) it skips everything real fast as if installing it instantly, no time to block copy etc. Then it hits the end and give me a NilObjectException.
(Also, Lauchpad stops working, it won't execute a shutdown or restart or half of the programs it shows. Terminal and Disk Utility work most of the time. Not Casper Imaging.)
So, it copies nothing and just gives me that error every time. But the same image works fine when ran from my external drive.
That's where I'm stuck...
