The admin's freeware friend: DeployStudio {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 20th 2008 9:28AM I never thought I'd leave NetRestore PHP Services behind, especially now that it's populated with 350+ machines in 42 Machine Groups. We have started looking into Deploy Studio as an additional option for deploying to labs where customizations need to be made based on area and when you don't want to rely on ARD Task Manager to do post-install tasks.
As we couldn't really start assessing Deploy Studio with out the migration of our existing NetRestore DB, I wrote up a php script and instructions on how to migrate existing machines and machine groups into Deploy Studio:

Give it a shot, the server end is a 5 minute install and the plist import is easy with the provided script. Its an additional optional NetBoot image, so it can run side by side with NetRestore, and the option of having workflows is intriguing. In the future, we'd like to maintain one thin lab image for all labs, with individual software pieces installed via workflows with a solution comparable to Deploy Studio.

Ask X3F: yet more questions edition {Joystiq Xbox}
Jan 16th 2008 11:25AM Didn't mean any offense, but I compare it to someone at Rolling Stone missing the latest Radiohead album. I like to read news here assuming that the writers are keeping up specifically with the 360, and still not touching one of the AAA titles two months after its release date makes me question why I'm here. Everything else is great.
