Back to DS Assistant, click ‘Create a DeployStudio NetBoot Set’. Blow through next few pages of settings…. This creates a filesystem under the share. If you choose to set a local share it won’t work, set it up as a network login volume. You can set up the share to be on a network afp://x.x.x.x/DeployStudio with DS user/pass. Accept server address, input DS username and password. Start Server and click ‘Set Up a DeployStudio Server’. Open DeployStudio, Install and go to System Preferences/ DeployStudio. Go to NetInstall service in Server.app and check where to store Netboot data- can change storage point.
Add your DS user to the new share, check R/W privs. Delete unused share points in ‘File Sharing’. Set up a User in Server.app (usually DS or ds). Name your server, set up IP address and DNS if needed. Copy DeployStudio and Server.app to machine. Install current OS- but check compatibility. OK not quite that fast….ĭownload DeployStudio, Profiles, Server.app, AutoDMG, CreateUserPKG #DEPLOYSTUDIO SERVER HOW TO#
