Mac OS image deployment
Hello all, I've made a boot environment for Mac (OS 10.6) I see it under Deployments -> Boot environments.
I'm trying to have a Imac to boot on the kace netboot, but to no avail. In the startup disk of the sys pref, I see the KBOX 2000 NetBoot Network Disk.

Did you create the Netboot environment on the type of machine your trying to netboot?
Also make sure your using the correct media for that computer.

Just spoke to the Kace Management and Developer Team. They do not fully support netbooting across subnets using iphelper. They also do NOT have it in the que for a future feature release. They believe that using an RSA on every vlan is adequate. The only way they will consider this important is based on votes. I found out we have to vote on things like this. I can't believe they consider booting outside of your imaging servers vlan as a "feature". Oh well, it's their rules, we just pay for them....
