Setting up a NetBoot server with install images can be a huge time saver for administrators who need to install new software on many computers simultaneously. To save even more time, you can automate install images to facilitate a nearly hands-free approach.
1. | Choose /Applications/Server/Network Image Utility (Figure 11.23).
The Network Image Utility opens.
|
2. | Do one of the following:
Click the New Install button in the Toolbar to configure a new install image (Figure 11.24).
Click the Images button in the Toolbar, choose an existing install image from the list, and then click Edit (Figure 11.25).
|
3. | Under the Installation Options tab of the Network Image Utility, select the "Enable automated installation" check box (Figure 11.26).
|
4. | Click the Options button.
A drop-down sheet appears with a variety of Auto-Install Options to choose from (Figure 11.27).
|
5. | Choose wisely, and then click the OK button.
|
6. | Do one of the following:
If this is a new install image, click the Create button to complete the image creation process. If you're editing an existing image, click the Save button to finalize your changes. |
