+4Does anyone have any best practices for deploying a Windows 7 Ent Bootcamp image? I have our OS X 10.7 images deploying beautifully. I was hoping to wrap up our Bootcamp image to go out over the network at the same time. It would save me a ton of time instead of going from machine to machine to setup Bootcamp. We have been using Winclone 3.0 to capture our Bootcamp images.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

+14It's fairly straightforward. After adding your Windows 7 image to Casper Admin/JSS, in the Additional Partitions area of the configuration add a second configuration and select NTFS for the file format and the image you added in the Package field.
The only gotcha I found was the size of the partition. I have a 20 GB image and needed at least an 80GB partition for it to work. Otherwise you will get errors saying insufficient space in the logs.
Good luck.
+7I have done all of this and when the imaging process is completed in casper and I try to open up the bootcamp image I only get a black screen with a blinking cursor.

+26Is your boot camp partition the last patition? If not the last it won't work. Also did you make your windows image self extracting. ?
+3We actually found a workaround based on a JAMFNation forum post (which I can't actually find now...):
/<pathto>/ntfscp -f /dev/disk0s3 /<pathto>/BCD /Boot/BCD
/<pathto>/gptrefresh -f -w -m /<pathto>/boot.mbr -a 3 -i 0x07 -u -s /dev/disk0s3 /dev/disk0
