How to clone 40 mac mini at the same time using network clone (like Ghost)

how to clone 40 mac mini at the same time using network clone (like Ghost)
Any Ideas ?
Thanks

Rather than a 100% identical clone to 40 Macs, I suspect you want the same basic image to be loaded on to those 40 Macs but will require some individualisation so that for example each has a unique computer name.
NetRestore and System Imaging Utility can do this but a lot of people including myself prefer to use DeployStudio which has more capabilities. See http://www.deploystudio.com
DeployStudio can be used to like NetRestore to restore an image to multiple Macs at the same time which is like multiple people downloading at the same time, but it can unlike the standard NetRestore also be configured to use multicast traffic which is more like a TV broadcast whereby multiple people receive the same transmission at the same time. This can be more efficient for imaging larger numbers of computers at the same time. For example 1Gbps shared between 40 computers is only 25.6Mbps each, but if you multicast a single transmission of 100Mbps to 40 computers then all 40 can listen to it at the same time and still be receiving 100Mbps even on the same network connection.

  • How to process two files at the same time using BPM

    Hi experts,
    I have a Integration Process it takes two files one Header xml and one Lines xml. These files shoudl be processed at the same time because them will be mappend in a Idoc.
    The realy trouble is that these inbound xmls never are executed at the same time. Then a IP is executed for each inbound xml.
    This is the IP:

    I try to do all what I know, but It don't work fine :S
    Thanks in advance and Regards,
    Jose Antonio.

    Hi Jose,
    Don't specify any end condition for  fork step and check the start process check box in both the receive step.
    Also put all steps inside the block.. so that the control step in deadline branch can throw exception and after that the BPM ends. As per the design now, if a deadline exception is raised (it will b handled) but after that the transformation step and send step is executed. There the BPM fails.

  • How to update two tables at the same time using jdbc

    Plz will anybody tell me what is the code or query in jdbc by which you insert entry in one table and simultaneously it goes in another table?
    Thanks in advance

    You might be
    able to design a trigger to do what you're talking
    about, but that would be a database thing, not a java
    thingAnother option would be an updatable view (google for usage), but it has limitations and should be used with caution. And yes, its a database thinggy and not java.

  • I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

  • If i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    if i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    Yes, but if you want these devices to have complete capability of calling each other they each must have their own separate, individual e mail address.  If they don't have individual e mail addresses, the i phones will be able to call each other because you'll be using their  individual phone numbers -- the Mac mini will be able to call the i phones, but, the iphones will not be able to call the Mac mini.  This is because the iphones will be using the mini's e- mail address to make the call, and if they have the same e mail address, they will think they are calling themselves, so the call will not connect.
    So, the way I see it is,  if you keep all of the email addresses the same, the only thing you'll loose is the ability of the iphones to call the mini.
    EDIT:  Thinking about it, my first sentence needs to be modified.  Your iphones can share an email address but it must be different from the Mac mini address.
    This isn't rocket science, but it can make your head spin. LOL

  • Does the iPhone Remote control a Mac mini in the same way as ATV?

    My ATV1 has packed in.
    Rather than having my MBP switched on just to listen to music through a new ATV to my hifi I am thinking of using a Mac Mini in the same way as ATV1.
    Does the iPhone Remote work with the Mini the same way as it does with the ATV or do you need to use a mouse and switch on the screen?

    If intending to use the Mini s a home theater system,
    you may want to consider getting Rowmote or Rowmote Pro
    app for the iPhone and the companion app for the Mac.
    Not only will you get Apple Remote functionality, but
    you will also get trackpad and keyboard functionality
    as well.  This will make it even easier to navigate the
    Mini on the TV.

  • Can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?

    I would like to put music under my audio books and my question is "can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?"

    I am not aware of a way to play two songs at once in iTunes. However, at least on a Mac, you can definitely open and play multiple things in QuickTime player. Sooo, you could open a music file in QT Player then start it and start the audio book in iTunes. Or open the audio book in QT player and listen to that there while iTunes plays music.

    Hi all,
    At work i'm connected to the Lan via an adapter and the mini displayport. I want to use my external display at the same time, which use the same mini displayport. Are there any splitters available to use both at the same time? Are there any other alternatives?

  • IS it possible to connect 2 minis at the same time

    Hi Folks,
    -This is a repost of one I posted earlier in the wrong group -
    My kids jut bought their iPod mini. I set up an account for each one (Tiger, mac mini, 512 mb, airport extreme) and they can sync and use their iPod fine. My question: is it possible to leave the 2 iPods connected to their own usb 2., cable for recharging, at the same time, while I am using my own account.
    I am asking before trying because I do not want to mess things up in their user account or iTunes library.

    I can absolutely assure you they will be just fine. To test it out I have my 4GB mini, my wife's 4GB mini, and just cause I have it my 1GB shuffle all connected right now and they are all fine and I have not received any warning or error messages and they all show up in my iTunes just fine as well.

    You could create an applescript to do it.
    tell application "Dreamweaver's Full Name"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "BBEdit's Full Name"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "Acrobat's Full Name"
    activate
    end tell
    Replace the quoted text (leaving the quotes) with the full name of the application, and save the applescript as an application bundle, and put it in your dock.
    NOTE: You may have to put the full path to the application for it to work (I.E. /Applications/Dreamweaver.app). If you do, encase the full path in quotes.
    Good luck!

  • How to support multiple users at the same time?

    Hi all,
    I have a Labview software which controls a analyzer via GPIB connector. When user A is using the software, user B has to wait until A is done. But actually, the analyzer is not very busy, when user A is using the software.
    I want user A, B, C and D can use the software at the same time. just like we can open Multiple websites at the same time.
    How can I program the software, so that the software can be open multiple times? Do you have any example?
    Thanks a lot.

    Are all the users going to be measuring the exact same thing from the same instrument?
    It would be possible to write a separate instrument server application that would handle all the direct interactions with the instrument. When one of the users needed to access the instrument, they would gain access to it through this server.
    The big, Big, BIG caveat is that each interaction with the instrument would need to be atomic. In other words each access would need to configure the instrument, initiate the reading, report the results, and then reset the instrument back to some known default value.
    As Dennis said, not a trivial process, but probably do-able...

  • Can you have multiple users working off the same Mac pro at the same time with multiple monitors but doing different things?

    I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!

    A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
    Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
    If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation.
