15 (Optional) Click Sharing Prefs and type the name in the Computer Name field that the
NetBoot or Network Install client gets after installation or booting.
Each client will have its computer name and local hostname set to the name you
supplied plus the MAC address (without the colons) of the client.
You can also type the path to a tab-delimited .txt or .rtf file that has a list of MAC
addresses and their corresponding computer names and local hostnames. Each client
will get the name that corresponds to its MAC address in the specified file.
16 (Optional) Click Directory Services and do the following:
If you are not using DHCP to provide NetBoot clients with Open Directory information,
use Directory Access to bind to a directory server, then select “Apply Directory Services
settings from this machine to all clients.”
If you want clients to bind to directory services that are available to the computer
you’re imaging, click Authenticate and authorize this selection.
Note: If the computer you’re imaging is not bound to directory servers, you’ll get an
error message when you click Authenticate.
17 Click Create Image.
If the Create button is not enabled, make sure you have entered an image name and
ID, and have chosen an image source.
18 In the Save As dialog, choose where to save the image.
If you don’t want to use the image name you typed earlier, you can change it now by
typing a new name in the Save As field.
If you’re creating the image on the same server that will serve it, choose a volume from
the “Serve from NetBoot share point on” pop-up menu.
To save the image somewhere else, choose a location from the Where pop-up menu or
click the triangle next to the Save As field and navigate to a folder.
19 Click Save.
To check progress, look in the lower-left corner of the window. If you need to insert
another CD, you’ll be prompted there. To create the image without including the
contents of a subsequent CD, click Finish when you are prompted to insert it.
Adding Software to Boot and Install Images
There are two basic approaches to including additional software in an image:
 Add additional applications and files to an existing system before creating an image
using that system as the source (see “Creating a Mac OS X Boot Image from an
Existing System” on page 33).
 Add packages containing the additional applications and files to an existing image
(see “Creating an Application-Only Install Image” on page 39).
