I know this should be S.O.P. But I slipped up once and it caused some

<br>
Turns out to image the new MacBooks with 10.5.2 you need a 10.5.2 NetBoot
image, the JAMF server on 10.5.2, and obviously pushing the 10.5.2 image to any
new Macs.<br>
<br>
Once we upgrade the server as well as the NetBoot image to 10.5.2 things are
now working. <br>
<br>
We originally started with the server at 10.5.1 as well as the NetBoot image at
10.5.1<br>
<br>
We first upgraded the server to 10.5.2 earlier this week, but were unable to
pull any images down to the new MacBooks until the Netboot image was redone at
10.5.2<br>

<br>
So still nothing so far.. And after some more testing, I have determined
that after the imaging is complete there is actually no data at all on the hard
drive.<br>
<br>
In the earlier post I had a RemoteClient install package that was deployed
after the image, that’s where the “Library” folder originated
from. Since then I tried pushing just a base 10.5.2 image and after the install
there is nothing at all on the hard drive.<br>
<br>
Not good since we just got a shipment of roughly 60 MacBooks in that need to be
imaged!<br>

Subject: [Casper] Imaging Issues with new Intel Mac Books<br>
<br>
Just wondering if anyone else out there has been having troubles with<br>
imaging the new Intel Mac Books with Leopard 10.5.2 using Casper??<br>
<br>
Computer Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4, with the X3100 graphics card (Newest<br>
Mac Book)<br>
<br>
The issue we are having with this newest batch of notebooks, is that when we<br>
try to push Leopard to them via Casper the image fails.<br>
<br>
After the imaging process appears to complete and then reboot, the system<br>
hangs. Looking into it further, by booting via a firewire drive we
noticed<br>
that the full system does not copy onto the computer. The only thing on the<br>
drive is the Library folder.<br>
<br>
If we use a disk copy and image via firewire or just do a standard DVD<br>
install, the OS works just fine. So it appears that its something during the<br>
Casper push.<br>
<br>
We have used this configuration on other Intel Macs and it works as it<br>
should. It's just this most recent batch that this has started.<br>
<br>
We have tried building a new image (built on the new MacBooks), loading that<br>
into the JSS directory and using that. Exact same results..<br>
<br>
I also checked for firmware updates on the machines. None were available.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else seen this?? Any ideas??<br>
