If you are going to use a Mac Mini to create the Lab image for the iMacs (not recommended due to driver issues, if you can, use one of the iMacs in the EDLab), use a Mac Mini that has a 64-bit processor and create a 64-bit Windows image. The iMacs are all Core 2 Duo and thus can run a 64-bit Windows OS. Currently we use Disk Utility to pull a Mac image, WinClone (installed on the ITG MBP) to pull a Windows image, and DeployStudio to push out images (feel free to suggest any other tools you think could improve the imaging process). Images for Ada's 7 will have to be custom created if a Mac Mini image does not work on it. Ada's 7 is not an iMac, but rather a newer Mac Mini. Please note that Ada's 5 and 6 have smaller HDDs than the other iMacs and you cannot restore images on smaller partitions than the ones they were created on.

Use Windows 7 Professional for the Windows image. create a Windows image on an EDLab machine if that image is going to be deployed on the iMacs). Note that it is much easier to create images on a machine that it is intended for, especially Windows images due to driver problems (e.g. If there is still a problem, go in system preferences and then in spotlight preferences drag the disk you are trying to image into the list under the privacy tab.Ĭheck the previous Instructional Image page to see what is needed on the next image, in addition to whatever you've been told. If you get a message about "resources being busy" then "unmount" (but don't eject) the disk you are trying to image.
