I am not able to get this to work for 10.8 NBIs.....is there a new version of this being release for ML or is there a way to get it to work with a ML so that it will automatically run Casper Imaging when netbooting? Thanks in advance

I believe this hasn't worked for some time. I just make my own NetBoot disk where I have ROOT enabled and set it to auto-login and launch Casper Imaging. I have another local admin account on there as well in case I need to run something like Disk Warrior.

Ditto... You can even configure a number of things in the root user that may be useful for your environment. For example, During our primary mass imaging (I work in the edu sector) I run a very simple nbi that only logs into root, launches casper imaging, and the the prestage. However, during the academic year I've got the .nbi loaded up with various diagnostic tools. I just find it nice to have the option and it's certainly not any more complicated than using the automator script.

Hey @krdell

Thanks for starting the discussion! The Casper Netboot Automator Action will work for 10.6 and earlier. For 10.7 and later, I would recommend using the steps in this KB article:
