DeployStudio works with Mac OS X 10.4.11 to 10.6.8 at this point, and is updated regularly to include new OS versions. This freeware tool can be used to create deployment files using Netboot, external USB or FireWire drives, or any AFP, SMB, or NFS sharepoint on the network. This is a daunting task and since I do not like to work weekends, I find that Deploy Studio Server helps me keep my sanity in such situations. I have a team of two, me and a Helpdesk Technician. The problem, from time to time I need to re-image or re-core a massive amount of computers, sometimes hundreds of computers. The restrictions are in place to keep security measures tight and ensure that proper procedures are followed.Īgain, since I do not have any looming restrictions in my workplace I have found a piece of software that would never be allowed in larger Government facilities but works nicely for what I need. These often lead to long, lenghtly solutions that could be eased with the use of third party software solutions. Admins in the Government sector for example can only use sanctioned tools and or methods for dealing with common Server Admin problems. I must stress that most admins can not fully share in my joy due to job or security restrictions. As a Mac System Admin working in the Private sector, I must confess I find myself like a kid in the candy store looking, and trying out new products created by third party vendors that make my life, job and the user experience for my clients easier and more productive.
