Netinstall image installation problem

Hi, I'm new in MacOSX Server and trying to do image file with System Image Utility 10.6.2 - MacOS10.6 and additional packeges (MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.2, iWork'09, iLife'09) with "AddPackages and Post-Install Script". By making a image no problem but when I start the installation occurs the following problem.
MacOs10.6 install correct but other programs added in "AddPackages and Post-Install Script" is not installed, and in Macintosh HD is created a folder named Install.76443 with locked directories.
Where is the problem why the additional packages not installed.
My SIU configuration is :
Define Image Source: MacOSXInstallDVD
Add Packages and Post-Install Scripts
- MacOsx10.6.2. Update Combo
- iLife'09.pkg
- iWork'09.pkg
Create image
type: Netinstall
Install Volume: Macintosh HD
Save to: Documents
Image Name: Netinstall of Mac OS X Install DVD
Network Disk: Netinstall of Mac OS X Install DVD
Image Index: 1533
Description: Netinstall of Mac OS X Install DVD
i want to create one image for all packages and updates and install it from network to all computers in my office.
thanks

I think this is covered in a different thread but, in short, the 10.6.2 update will fail to install on top of the 10.6 DVD. YMMV with the iLife & iWork packages as they may run pre-install scripts that will also cause them to fail.

OD binding problem with Netinstall Imaged Macbooks-"Record Exists"

Leopard 10.5.7
Many intel MacBooks All imaged from a netinstall image created from an identical unit.
Leopard 10.5.7 OD server
After using System Preferences-> Sharing to rename the MacBooks
Upon trying to bind to OD, after the FIRST unit successfully bound, subsequent units give a warning “Computer record already exists, do you want to overwrite?”
Somewhere I’m guessing there is a legacy identifier from the image that needs changing… can anyone tell me what I need to do to give these already imaged units a unique identifier?
Is there a command line instruction to reset? preference(s) to delete?
Thanks in advance.

foilpan,
I'm a similar position... but just using a monolithic image build (the old fashion way... using DU/restore disk from an external drive). I'm in a serious time crunch and can't afford to spend any more time troubleshooting SIU, so I moved on to the old fashioned way.
Trouble is I cannot bind the client iMacs to the OD because a record already exists...
I tried your suggestion and got this error in Step 2:
SHS-C190-8230:~ sdk$ sudo -rf /var/db/krb5kdc
sudo: please use single character options

usage: sudo -K | -L | -V | -h | -k | -l | -v

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Newbie: how to host 10.4 netinstall images on a 10.5 server

I tried almost everything but I don't get it to work.
Technical info:
1 server running 10.5, Netboot, NSF (which should do the trick according to the documentation.
1 client running 10.4 clean installation + firefox
Used tools:
Server admin tools 10.4 and 10.5
Carbon Copy Cloner
Disk utility
Netrestore
What did I try:
Created an image of an 10.5 leopard (not server) installation dvd with the server admin tools (system image utility) and netinstall runs perfect. (I don't see netrestore but just the installer of 10.5)
Also did this with 10.5 server image and also that worked without any problems.
Created an master image of the 10.4 client (all the above named tools have been tried). Image creation is no problem. creating .nbi folder is no problem. Copy it to the NetBootSP0 folder, still no problem. Tried to boot from the image and there is the problem.
Client boots with Netrestore. I can select the NetBootSP0 folder and the *.nbi folder and the image.
I click on restore and got only this message.

Can someone explain me what is going wrong?
I have to say that this error only shows when i try to boot from the netinstall image i created with the 10.4 system image utility.
The nbi image i created with netrestore helper does boot, shows me the installer, says it is completed but when it is rebooting the OS is still the same as before the installation, very weird.
According to this online document it should work as long as you create it with the right tools (10.4 tools for 10.4 images):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306542
But probably I missed a little detail which I also could not find here on the forum an also not on other forum.
Thanks in advance for your time responding to this.

Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

Netinstall package installation fails

I've been struggling with Netinstall and Netrestore for a few days, and I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I'm trying to use a customized NetInstall image to install Snow Leopard and some additional software on client machines. The OS installs successfully, but it fails while installing one of the additional packages.
Here's my image creation workflow from Automator:
1) Define image source (Snow Leopard retail DVD)
2) Add Packages and Post-Install Scripts: Includes packages for Audacity (made with Package Maker), Microsoft Remote Desktop and Microsoft Office 2008
3) Customize Package Selection: Using primarily to have the image skip the non-English language translations.
4) Apply System Configuration Settings: Used to connect the computer to Active Directory, generate a unique computer name and change ByHost preferences. The installation doesn't seem to get to this point.
5) Create Image
Automator says the workflow completed, and it does boot successfully from my 10.6.2 server.
The hangup seems to be happening when it installs Audacity. The only thing the install package does is put a folder in /Applications with a small number of files in it. The folder and files are created, but nothing after that point runs.
I saved the installation log, and I noticed something in the last few lines that seems to indicate that the Audacity package is the problem. Is there anything I can do that will make it continue beyond this point?
Here are the last few lines of the installation log:

Yes, that's a tough one to get around. If you don't mind hacking SIU a little the best fix is to edit the script:
/Applications/Server/System\ Image\ Utility.app/Contents/Library/Automator/Create\ Image.action/Contents/Resources/createNetRestore.sh
and change the line that reads:
/usr/bin/hdiutil create "$destPath/System" -srcfolder "${sourceVol}" -uid 0 -gid 80 -mode 1775 -ov -puppetstrings || exit 1
to:
/usr/bin/hdiutil create "$destPath/System" -srcfolder "${sourceVol}" -fsargs "-c a=16384,c=8192,e=1280" -uid 0 -gid 80 -mode 1775 -ov -puppetstrings || exit 1
i.e. add '-fsargs "-c a=16384,c=8192,e=1280"' before the -uid

How many NetInstall images needed?

Hello All,
I am trying to figure out how many NetInstall images I need for my environment. So far I have read that for Leopard you can have one 32bit for PPC machines and one 64bit build for Intel machines, is this true? Or do I really need to make a build for each type of machine for PPC and Intel? I would think that if you built an image for a laptop it would have issues with a desktop machine or vice versa.
Thank you!

I was having the same issues. The problem that I ran into with NetRestore, was that I could not remotely upgrade my machines from Tiger to leopard... or without destroying all my user data. As much as I have not liked SIU much in the past. I found a post that really helped me out.
http://yourmacguy.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/tiger-to-leopard-upgrade-netinstall/
I added my post-install scripts in the flow after my package installs. I can simply send a bless command to the machines pointing them to my netinstall server. It will load my image or upgrade a user, keeping their data intact, whether they are on a intel or power machine. One side note though... When I provision new machines using this process. the Apple Setup assistant starts on the first boot. to keep that from starting, you can "touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone". I have this running from a post install script.

Netinstall Raid Creation Problem

I'm trying to do a Netinstall of 10.5.6 server on a bunch of new xservers. The images are served on 10.5.6 server. A problem I've found is that when I want to make a raid before I drop the image down, the netinstall boot installer will not let me drag and drop the 2 drives i'm trying to mirror raid. It just highlights everything as I try to drag down the drive...
But if I boot off an install DVD there is no problem. I can drag and drop the drives to create the raid.
Anyone have this issue or a solution other than using the dvd for each server then rebooting into netinstall? It seems like a preference is missing on the netinstall boot image...

Ah, so everything is happening in RAID Admin?
I haven't seen the error you're getting before. You have deleted the RAID sets first and then try and create it by selecting drives with checkboxes?
What firmware version are you using? If you just have a bunch of spare drives with no data to date, try updating to 1.5. If that fails, you may want to try calling AppleCare, as that's an error I haven't seen before.

NetInstall Image PARTIALLY working

I have a problem which is driving me batty!
I have used NetInstall to create an image that was put together using a G5 Imac as the computer booting from an external firewire drive. The computer boots normally when using this firewire as its boot device. This same FW drive will boot a IMac G3 normally. When I use this same FW drive to supply an image for NetInstall, it creates the image just like always. Here is where it gets interesting.
When I try to install this image using NetInstall on either a G3 Imac or a G4 PowerPC, the imaging process starts normally (Block World, Spinning World, Spinning Gear, Install window) and then it goes to h*! The install bar indicated that the image requires 7.8 Gig, which is no problem for the 40 Gig drive or bigger depending on the particular system, and the bar starts across the window. In a matter of maybe 20 seconds the bar has made it to the halfway point and after 30 or so more seconds, it ends with the "completed but there were errors, please try again". The normal image process would take maybe 30 or 40 minutes on the IMac.
The image is set to erase the hard drive before installing the image. It completes this since when I take a look at the drive after the failed install it is completely empty and has its name changed from Macintosh HD to SIU_Image.
When I try the image created a few months ago, the process proceeds normally to a completly installed image. This was the image installed on the FW drive and then the various updates were installed. The new image has all the current Apple, Adobe, Text Wrangler, MS Office and other updates installed. It also has the new Apple remote Desktop 3 client software installed. (The original image had ARD 2.2, and 10.4.4 software)
The system used to supply the image is an IMac G5 running 10.4.6 Server with 1 Gig RAM and 100 Gig HD. The various clients are anywhere from an IMac G3, 512 Meg RAM & 40 Gig HD on up to a G5 Power PC with 2 Gig Ram and 100 Gig HD.
When I tried installing the older image, it installed normally once I told it to use the HD named SIU-Image (as it was renamed by the aborted NetInstall). It is normally used in an automated install to a HD named Macintosh HD.
The changes in the new image (ARD 3.0, 10.4.6, various security Updates etc.) seem to have generated some problem with writing to the hard drive. Use or non use of the machine renaming file in the sharing prefs does not seem to have any tie in to the problem. One other change which was done to the new image was that "Machine Renamer was removed from this image since I finally got Apples sharing pref name file to work (with the help of some people on the Discussion Forum). I would think that if this were the problem, the FW Boot would not work so I dont think that is the problem.
Another side point is that when the aborted install ask to restart, it will not restart. I have to go up and exit the Net Installer before the restart will take place.
With the abscence of any logs on the install system and no indication of problems evident on the netinstall logsat least as referenced to the install of the image that did work, I am at a loss. The one thing I did notice was that in the NBI folder the old (still working) image had an empty folder named "mnt" that was not in the new images nbi folder. The only other difference I saw was that the plist files for the old image had a slightly different ordered list for disabled systems but all the same systems still appeared to be present, just moved around. Incidentally, the image was set to work on all Apple systems in both the working (older) and non-working (newer) image.
Anybody have a hint, suggestion or thought about what is going on?

Sequence of images created and results obtained.
I used my most current, at that time, image to update all software, having ARD 3 client software installed, both Apple and Non-apple programs fully updated, optimized it (using Onyx) and created a new Net Install image with fully automated setting using the sharing preferences to name the imaged systems. This is the image which failed to install. This image was created on an external Firewire drive.
I tried again, creating an second image from the same system as above think that perhaps this image failed somehow during the creation process. The results were the same.
I tried booting the systems which were being imaged using the external Firewire drive and the systems booted normally.
I then used Carbon Copy Cloner to install the image from the FW drive to the hard drive of the client system. The image installed and booted normally.
My next try was to create an image, using the previous (pre ARD 3, pre updates post January 06) again using the external FW drive. This image created normally and installed ALMOST normally. It was set to automatically restart at the completion of the install but auto restart failed to occur. Manually forcing a restart worked and the imaged system booted normally using the new image. The restart process shows the Finish window with a restart button. Clicking the button causes the button to "gray out" but nothing else. I have to go to the Network Installer menu and exit the IN. This brings up the startup disk window. Selecting the newly imaged HD, clicking Restart and confirming the Restart then restarts the system in the normal manner on the HD.
I then used this base image, installed all current updates EXCEPT ARD 3 (the image remained at ARD 2.2) on an external FW drive. Created the new Netinstall image and then imaged a client system. The client system installed normally again EXCEPT for the automatic restart. A manual restart was done and the system then booted normally using the newly installed image.
My last try was this same image (all current updates) but with ARD 3 installed. The results were the same as the ARD 2.2 image. Normal install but a failure to do the automatic restart. Operation, on the HD, was normal following the manual restart.
As it stands now, the auto restart function is the problem area. Since I am doing the image install remotely but I have to manually go to the systems to do the restart (ARD will not recognize the systems till after the restart) the usefulness of this remote netinstall is substantially reduced.
The only thing that I have not done with the latest image (all updates including ARD 3) is run it through the ONYX optimization and clean up routines. Since it works up to this point other than the restart issue, I would suspect, but have not tried it to confirm my suspicions, that something in the ONYX program "confuses" the client hard drive when Netinstall is used. This same "confusion" does not occur when using an external FW drive to boot from or when using Carbon Copy Cloner to install the image on the hard drive of the client system.
I hope that this provides you with some help. Right now the major problem is the lack of an auto restart or the ability of ARD to recognize the drive till after the restart.
If I get a chance, I will try to use Onyx to optimize the image on the FW and cut a net Netinstall image to see if the same failure to install problem occurs. This may not happen for several days since I am tied up with other projects at present.

Installation problem for Java EE 5 SDK Update 2

Hi ,
I have jdk1.5.0_12 (J2SE) installed on my Windows XP. Now i am trying to install J2EE on my machine.I tried to install it twice but it comes to a halt after completing 45% at the same jar file. Following is the link which shows it comes to a halt.
http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=j2eeinstallhangupav8.png
Also I wanted to know if I uninstall the J2SE and then install only J2EE will that be fine.Because I believe J2EE is a superset of J2SE ?
Thanks in advance.

For the difference between Java EE and Java SE read here:
http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/firstcup/doc/p3.html
For the installation problem, I don�t know how to help you... maybe here you can find some ideas:

Upgrade Options for Internal Hard Drive on dv2000t Laptop (Installation Problems)

I need to replace a failed hard drive in my 2006 dv2000t laptop. The drive I'm replacing was already a replacement drive from the original 80GB drive that shipped with laptop. That first replacement 3 years ago (2008) was a 200GB drive, that worked well for about 3 years. But it just crashed (apparently). I was getting some "S.M.A.R.T" imminent drive failure warnings a week prior, and then it finally would no longer boot-up. Subsequent tests on the extracted drive show it as having many failed sectors.
I had no problem ordering a replacement drive the first time in 2008, restoring an Acronis backup image of original drive, installing it, etc. All went smoothly in 2008. So I assumed all would go smoothly again for yet another replacement and upgrade.
In 2008 the drive I ordered was a W.D. (Western Digital, sticking with the same brand as original) 2.5-in 5400rpm SATA drive (200GB). That was a SATA (I) drive (1.5 Gbit/s interface).
The first drive I recently ordered (Mar 2011) was a W.D 2.5-in 7200rpm 500GB SATA II (3.0 Gbits/s interface) drive (from W.D.'s "Scorpio Black" line.) Got the drive, burned the disc image to it, and popped it into the laptop. Unfortunately, upon startup, and after BIOS screen, all I get is a black screen with a fast flashing white cursor at the top of the screen. Drive apparently is not being recognized by the computer? Then I did some reading in a few on-line forums and found some references about this laptop not doing well with drive capacities over 320GB, nor with 7200rpm drives (because they run hotter than 5400 drives). And finally, references to the SATA interface speed. I ordered a 2nd drive, this one from W.D's "Scorpio Blue" line, this time a 5400rpm 320GB drive (but still SATA II). Same story, still won't work. So I decided that maybe the issue was the SATA speed. So I found someone who still had an older SATA (1.5 GBit/s) W.D. drive in stock . It's a W.D. SATA 250GB (no longer made). It should arrive in a couple days -- and I'm hoping this one works!
I would like to get some kind of confirmation about the blinking white cursor on the black screen on start-up. Is that typicalif the system not finding a bootable hard drive? Also, is this SATA vs. SATA-II issue a likely cause of my problem? I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the new drives themselves, and the restored images on them , as the drives will mount and are accessible when I plug them in as external drives on my other computer.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have been able to solve my own hard drive installation problems. It turns out that there were no issues with any of the new replacement drive(s) I ordered (thinking I had ordered drives with the wrong specs). The solution to the problem was a simple one. The restored drives were not booting because there was no MBR (Master Boot Record) on the drives after disc image restoration.
I am using Acronis True Image Home 2011 as my disc imaging (backup) software. And I just didn't understand how to properly restore backed up images to a new hard drive. I had done everything correctly except that I had not checked the box to "restore MBR" -- at the time not understanding what that was or its significance. Once I checked that box, and reimaged the new drive, it worked fine.

SQL Developer Installation Problems

Hi,
We are trying to find a workable alternative to TOAD and have tried to install SQL Developer with not much success.... I think I am just about to give up but hope this last attempt to post for help can create a miracle.
I would appreciate very much if any one knows of a comprehensive document out there that can help trouble shoot the installation problems.
Let me give you the hardware and software versions first and then the problems.
1) SQL Developer tried: sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213-no-jre and sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213
2) JRE tried: JRE 1.5 and JRE 6 (C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03)
3) Window: XP Professional version 2002 Service pack 2
4) Hardware: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz, 1.98 GB of RAM
Problems:
1) SQL Developer could not find native JDBC. I don't understand why, despite all the variables set in Oracleclient10g_basic in the registry, SQL Developer did not seem to be able to find a 10g client on a network drive. I have to install 10g client directly onto my pc (C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1) to solve this problem.
2) SQL Developer abruptly disappeared after database login.
I was able to connect and log into an Oralce 10g database with TNS Connect Identifier approach. There were objects (tables, views, etc) showed up briefly on the left hand side of the SQL Developer and then it just completely disappeared without even an error message or a tearful good-bye.
The only thing I can find is this error log about EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. After hours searching through OTN for possible mentioning of this error with SQL Developer, I found nothing so far.
Why is it so difficult to install SQL Developer? Are there a set of un-spoken pre-requisites that has to be satisfied before it can be installed properly? If so, what are they? Path system variable? Registry? Anything else?
Here's the complete EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error log:
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x2ca5683c, pid=952, tid=2576

Is this a java problem? SQL Developer problem? Or something else?
Thanks in advance,
a TOAD lover

The problem you are seeing (the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) is a result of a version mismatch between the JDBC driver being used by SQL Developer and the Oracle client that is found on the path.
This issue only occurs when trying to use the OCI version of the JDBC driver. The simplest fix is to switch to using the basic connection type and thus using the thin (all Java) JDBC driver. As no Oracle client is required in this case, the version mismatch won't be an issue.
However, the connection approach you are using should work, and if you wish to try to sort out the problems there, we should be able to further diagnose the underlying cause of the version mismatch.
To do this, I would need to see what SQL Developer thinks are the potential Oracle client installs, as well as which install it ends up picking. Can you copy/paste the output in the Log Window (Logging Page) that is present after SQL Developer starts (but before you attempt to connect to any database)? There should be a whole series of entries like 'Checking for ORACLE_HOME environment variable' and 'Checking JDBC driver at <some path>'
These log entries are output by SQL Developer as it tries to sort out the various bits of information about Oracle client installs and thus give a peek at the selection logic being used.
Oh, and also - the value of your PATH variable would be useful as well. It may be that there is an Oracle client install on the PATH that supersedes the install SQL Developer is finding via the registry or ORACLE_HOME variable.

++ Debugging ACR Installation Problems ++

If Photoshop CS2/Bridge is not working correctly after you attempt to install ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 3.1 or higher, here a some hints on how to debug common installation problems.
1. Make sure that "Camera Raw" appears exactly once in Photoshop's "About Plug-in" menu. If it appears zero times, you did not install the plug-in in a correct location. The correct location is shown below. If it appears more than one time, you have multiple copies of the plug-in installed.
The new location for Adobe Camera Raw 3.x and 4.x is:
>Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/
b Note: that the Library folder refered to above is that found at root level and NOT the User/Library folder.
>Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\
2. If "Camera Raw" appears exactly once in the "About Plug-in" menu, then pick that item and make sure the Camera Raw about box shows version 3.1 or higher. If not, you have the wrong version of Camera Raw installed.
3. Run Bridge and pick "Camera Raw Preferences..." from the Bridge(Mac) or Edit(Win) menu. If the command is grayed out, then you don't have Camera Raw installed in the correct place. If the Camera Raw preferences dialog does not have "Version 3.1 or higher" in the title bar, you have the wrong version of Camera Raw installed.
If after you verify that that 1, 2 and 3 are correct, and you are still having problems (e.g. generic raw image icons in lieu of thumbnail previews), then next step is to purge the Adobe Bridge cache for any folders you are having problems with. The command to use is:
"Tools->Cache->Purge Cache for this Folder".

Understood guys. But let me make a few points.
1. Clearly I'm not the only one who had this problem. In fact, I wasn't the first person in this THREAD to have the problem.
2. I'm fairly computer savvy, and have worked with Photoshop for several years.
3. Yes, it does say c: in point 3, but I find it odd that in point 4 it does say Program Files/.... A very strange way to write it. Also, the c: drive is the default installation drive, so it's not idiocy for someone to assume that the file would be located on the same drive as you selected for installation.
4. This is not about technically right or wrong. I never said that the instructions were wrong. I merely was trying to make a suggestion that would help people avoid the same trap I fell into. Was it my mistake? Yes. Would my clarifying suggestion perhaps help others avoid making the mistake I did. I would hope so. Also, as someone else suggested in this thread, Adobe SHOULD have written an installation program for the ACR 3.1 upgrade that did the placing automatically. After all, EVERYONE knew that ACR3.1 would be released shortly after the release for CS2...in fact Mr. Knoll himself was quoted in other forums about when D2X compatibility would actually happen.
5. The purpose of these forums is to be helpful to other users--not to be patronizing or rude. I'm a big Photoshop fan, and a loyal customer. I'm also in the service industry, and I would bet that customer service experts would raise an eyebrow or two about the tone contained in certain messages in this thread, including from an Adobe employee.
Just my two cents. Flame away if you must. But you might want to take a look at what I actually suggested in my last message before lighting up the torch.

Hostname in netinstall image

How to solve the image display problem in the iTunes Store

Hi guys!
I just want to give a work-around for all of you having the image display problem in the iTunes Store. In my case only the square images in the slider sections won't load:
I had this in my last W7-installation and got it again in W8 after the first few weeks.
There are a lot of reports about this problem out there and adhoc solutions like 'clear the cache' or 'reinstall and drink ice tea' that do not work. It is obviously a file request error. It is all about finding out which server addresses get blocked by your computer.
Solution: Go to your firewall and your Anti-virus-program. There must be a whitelist option. In Kaspersky, check the web-options, the banner-options and the firewall-options, because the all have whitelists. The following addresses have to be whitelisted:
*.apple
*.mzstatic.apple.com.akadns.net
*.mzstatic.com.edgesuite.net
*.da1.akamai.net
*.itunes.apple.com
se.itunes.apple.com
upp.itunes.apple.com
ax.init.itunes.apple.com
xp.apple.com
*.mzstatic.com
client-api.itunes.apple.com
www.apple.com.edgekey.net
www.isg-apple.com.akadns.net
Press Ctrl + R in the iTunes Shop then and browse throught the music sections. All images should be displayed correctly now.
If not, there might be more Apple servers involved in your case. You can find them by running a DNS sniffing tool like the DNS query sniffer by Nirsoft or Wireshark.

Phone restarting randomly could be loose battery. Tighten by putting a small strip of electrical tape on the back edge.
THE BITTERNESS OF POOR QUALITY, LINGERS LONG AFTER THE CHEAPNESS OF PRICE, IS SOON FORGOTTEN.

Failsafe method to create NetInstall image of pre-configured MacOSX

Hi All
I am trying to create NetInstall image of a pre-configured MacOSX install(mid-2011 mac mini) in this case. Here is my workflow:
1. Setup base OSX Mountain lion
2. Do all updates and configure System Preferences and Finder Preferences as desired
3. Install all desired software to be packaged with the system
4. Boot into target mode and then use a second mac mini running Casper Composer to create a .dmg of the OS.
5. Copy the finished .dmg to ML Server
6. Try to use System Image utility to create a NetInstall image that other mac minis can then use as base install
I havent had any success so far creating a valid .nbi folder I can use(and that works) for re-deployment unless I use Casper Admin and Casper Imaging to manage this. The reason I am trying to get away from using them is that the differnece between buying a $70 Casper Composer(or using the free Disk Utility) and buying the full Casper Suite is considerable. Also, my understanding of System Image Utility is that:
1. It should be possible to build a customised image of OSX from base with packages and coonfiguration added but it doesnt seem to work
2. NetInstall is the only viable option for what we want to do as NetBoot presumes you will boot off the image each time you start up(which is not what we want - we want the ability to clone systems and from bare metal if necessary) and NetRestore flatly doesnt seem to work from .dmgs.
Here is what I have found:
a) I can create NetInstall images from a mounted downloaded Apple-provided OSX Installer that work but as soon as I put customisations in them, the customisations fail.
b) By default NetInstall is greyed out when you mount the dmg and use it as a source in System image utility. Suggestions online are to change the Source to use a New variable and then point it back at the same location. NetInstall is then available. If you try to create a .nbi from this, you get an error saying that there isnt enough space on the target drive - the uncompressed dmg is about 7GB max and there is a spare 60-70Gb free on the drive I am trying to create the image on.
c) I have tried manually creating the .nbi folder but the instructions I found at http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21133 for doing this are outdated as they apply to ppc firmware and although I suspect the technique will still work, I cant work out which elements of the i386 folder I need to retain/move. Copying the i386 folder from another working Netinstall folder doesnt help.
d) I found some links suggesting that NetInstall only worked when the OSX versions were identical so I tried to run the System Image Utility on the Mac where the dmg was created. Here I get two errors:
     i) If I just run the NetInstall using the default source, it errors saying an unknown error has occurred and get the following in the log:
Workflow Started (2013-08-21 11:39:45 +0100)

     ii) If I change the source to the .dmg file and unmount it quickly to avoid any file locks, the installer goes further and seems to almost finish but then gives the following error(just appending the final bits):

Failed to create image from restore source.
An unknown error has occurred.
An unknown error has occurred.
Image creation process finished...
Stopping image creation.
Image creation failed.
Anyone have any idea how I can get around these issues?

First, let's define the various image types...
NetInstall:
A network based image which, when booted into, presents the user with a Mac OS installer. Functionality is effectively the same as running the Install Mac OS X application locally on a machine.
NetRestore:
A network based image which, when booted into, uses Apple Software Restore to replace the contents of a volume with a previously imaged volume.
NetBoot:
A network based image which, when booted into, acts just like a locally booted hard drive, except no changes are written to the disk. Each time the client boots into the NetBoot volume, the system is "reset" to the original state.
As defined by your workflow, you are trying to create NetRestore images.
As piperspace has noted, you need to start with the latest OS Install application. Starting with an older OS which has been updated to the latest will not work.
Creating NetRestore images from other disk images doesn't work because you need to have the Recovery Partition available. As both chicster and piperspace have noted, the way to do this is to image the volume directly.
Many preferences are "ByHost", which means that they are keyed to the UUID of the machine they are set on. To make those settings transfer to the new machines, you may need to use the "Apply System Configuration Settings" action and check the "Change ByHost preferences to match..." option.

Netinstall Leopard Installer DVD with iLife 08

Has anyone been able to use the leopard installer dvd and ilife 08 installer dvd to create a netinstall image to update machines through netboot?
I am trying now, but the iLife install never installs! I'm not sure why, but I can get other packages I made to install. Same for most of the updates from apple. I want to install them, but they don't.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Grand, I maybe able to provide some light to your situation:
I too just bought my iMac recently and due to its shipment, the iMac comes installed with Mac OS 10.4 Tiger with iLife 08, that all comes in the Install DVDs that came with the iMac. In it is also an Upgrade Leopard DVD 10.5, this is just the Leopard Upgrade.
You have to upgrade to Leopard using this Upgrade DVD and then you will get Leopard and also iLife 08, which was already previously installed. My initial mistake when I open up my iMac was to immediately do a total Erase and Install of my iMac with the Leopard Upgrade DVD, then I realized it was an upgrade and because I did an Erase and Install, iLife 08 was "wiped off". (iLife 08 was in fact pre-installed together with the Tiger OS) so later I had to again erase and install Tiger, then just choose the Upgrade option in the Leopard DVD.
Maybe yours is the same case as I am??
Cheers
