Mac Configuration

Imaging iMacs

This section details imaging an iMac with Mac OSX El Capitan (10.11).

1) Ensure the iMac is connected to the network with the Mac imaging server running.
2) Power on the iMac and hold Alt-N during boot. You should see a solid globe instead of the Apple logo. If it's flashing, check the network cable or make sure the server is on.
3) AFter a minute or so, the globe will shrink and start spinning a little under an Apple logo. It's booting the software.
4) When Deploy Studio Runtime appears, click on the Utilities drop-down up at the top. Select Disk Utility.
5) Partition the disk with one partition (entire drive) named Mac HD or Macintosh HD. 
6) Exit Disk Utility.
7) Deploy Studio Runtime should reappear. Select the "Restore Master on a Volume" option. Click play.
8) At the right, where you see the image of the hard drive, select the Macintosh HD partition you created earlier via the drop-down menu.
9) At the bottom, where you see a list of images, you will want to select the one with the file name: "All_Macs_AdobeCC_prep_090616_ElCapitan.i386.hfs.dmg"
10) Click play one final time, and it should be imaging.
11) Let Deploy Studio Runtime run for a little while, until it finishes. Congratulations, you have just imaged an iMac.
