Latest OSX, Dualboot Windows 7, ReImage with DeployStudio

[RabbieBurns]

Can anyone point us towards a bit of a HOW-To for baby steps to create a reference mac dualbooting the latest MAC OSX and windows 7, and then how to capture and deploy it with Deploy Studio. We were using net-restore but it doesn't seem to be working with the latest OSX on the latest imac and machook hardware so I am told. We have a mac server hardware if thats any use but i think is obsolete?

anyone using deploystudio to image their macs?

 

Is there something better I should be using?

Hi Sean, what about the capturing it into Deploy Studio please that is the bit we are really struggling with..

We are just going through this process. So far we have come to the stage where we have both images captured, OSX and W8. Have a workflow to deploy both successfully. However we are having BOOTMGR issues.

 

To capture the windows image, boot into DS. Select the workflow Create a Master volume. Make sure the only tick box selected in try to shrink ntfs volumes size. (in DS Admin on your server). And then once captured create a workflow that partitions the drive, deploy the OSX and Image and then deploy then Windows one.

 

Thats as far as we have gotten, plus we have REfit installed to make it easier for users. However this is where we are stuck. We have to repair windows with a CD in order for it to complete OOBE and get to the login screen. We even repaired it, recaptured it and still no luck.

 

I hope this helps. Its pretty rewarding when you get there.
