I have a timing question....
I am going to be imaging teacher laptops - I can wipe them clean and have
created all my packages to reinstall.
When I image one - or two - or even three at a time it takes about 20
minutes start to finish - for the image process
But today I am pushing out one package (that is included in my
configuration for teacher machines) to a group of 26 laptops.
It has been working for over an hour - is this difference in time normal?
I am using Casper Remote to push out the one package- is this a mistake -
should I be doing it a different way??? When I image I netboot each
machine - is it better to set up auto run data to just include the single
package and then netboot - does that work?
Is it simply that I am working with a larger number of machines 3 vs 26
Or is it quicker to do a clean install - block copy?
I am just trying to plan accordingly to deploy the image to groups of
teachers -
and I'm trying to determine how many I can do at one time - so I know how
to schedule my teachers
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
