Imaging iMacs
El Capitan iMacs
- Ensure the iMac is connected to the network with the Mac imaging server running.
- 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.
- AFter a minute or so, the globe will shrink and start spinning a little under an Apple logo. It's booting the software.
- When Deploy Studio Runtime appears, click on the Utilities drop-down up at the top. Select Disk Utility.
- Partition the disk with one partition (entire drive) named Mac HD or Macintosh HD.
- Exit Disk Utility.
- Deploy Studio Runtime should reappear. Select the "Restore Master on a Volume" option. Click play.
- 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.
- 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"
- Click play one final time, and it should be imaging.
- Let Deploy Studio Runtime run for a little while, until it finishes. Congratulations, you have just imaged an iMac.
