Yup. The usage I've used it for is to pre-build a "golden" system, then make a system image of it. Use superduper to clone onto new systems for deployment. It's very useful for the deployment of standard software and standard configuration, but nothing that's machine-specific or active. After restoring the golden image onto a new machine, we would have to set that machine name, join to domain, enable filevault (and record recovery keys) and sometimes additional tasks. > Meanwhile, Casper is agent-based system management, which can report > back what software is installed, manage deployments and upgrades, force > various system settings to corporate values, manage FileVault recovery > keys, etc etc. So indeed, it sounds like I am missing some opportunity. That sounds like good and useful stuff. :-) _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
