Hi,

I have many macs that are not near me and I need to install them over network.
What is the recommend option? use netinstall? netboot? netrestore?
What is the best way for use the OS without crashes or stucks?

I need to install them automatically for update OS every few month.. How I can do it without human contact (except the first time maybe)?

thanks

    I don't suppose you'd want to NetInstall just for OS updates every couple of months. Would it work better to simply scope a policy that performs the available Apple software updates?

    That's not my intention but I got along with it.
    I have another question:

    1) If I want to deploy all the 100 macs - it can be without touch them? or I must to do something to deploy?
    2) if I create image with auto DMG - after the netinstall the target Mac all the files and settings are load in target mac?
