I don’t actually do it this way, we typically just push out a whole new patched and updated Restore partition in the background with the following Perl script while the production side is running...even if users are logged on you could:<BR>
<BR>
#!/usr/bin/perl -w<BR>
<BR>
`/usr/sbin/diskutil mountDisk disk0`;<BR>
`/usr/sbin/asr restore -source <a href="http://your.jss.com/restorex.dmg">http://your.jss.com/restorex.dmg</a> -target /Volumes/Restore -erase -noprompt -noverify`;<BR>
`/usr/sbin/diskutil force unmount /Volumes/Restore`;<BR>
<BR>
Haven’t used it in a while, but I assume it still works.<BR>

I’ve setup restore partition to login automatically and Casper is a login item. I’m wondering how easy it would be to upgrade Casper from 5.13 to Casper Imaging 6.x and have it start at login on machines that are currently in production.<BR>

Thanx for your input,<BR>
