New NBI, missing functionality?

One of my predecessors created an NBI on version 10.8.x.
I'm now creating a new one (10.9.5), including the new Imaging 9.52 application.

After booting into this new version, i found out not having access to any applications but Imaging? I'm also missing access to spotlight.

From terminal i'm opening ```
sudo open -a /Applications/Disk Utility.app
``` which throws an error saying the application cannot be found.

I'm using Casper NetInstall Image Creator 4.0 with a 'Vanilla' 10.9.5 dmg

Any suggestions / ideas?

In your example, the path to (stock) Disk Utility location is incorrect. It should be:

sudo open -a /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app

*I should add that I haven't used Casper NetInstall Creator so it might being doing something interesting (and recommend giving AutoNBI by bentoms a whirl).

@bvandepol, I've created a tool that automates somewhat the creation of NBI's.

Please give it a go.

+1 for @bentoms' Solution.

Worked fine in the sites I've used it.
