Step 1: Configure a Source Computer

Step 2: Provide Credentials to Access Images

Deployment Solution
In this step, a basic OS X system is prepared to provide the source for your automation
boot image.
If your source computer is running OS X 10.5, you must update to 10.5.2 or later.
1. Perform a fresh installation of OS X on the source computer. Optionally, you can
create an additional volume on an existing computer to store this operating system.
2. Start the operating system you installed in the previous step, and then log in using
the Administrator account you created during installation.
3. Change any settings that might require user interaction. For example:
Enable automatic login (System Preferences > Accounts).
Disable the Sleep option (System Preferences > Energy Saver).
Disable software updates (System Preferences > Software Update).
4. In network options select Using DHCP.
5. Verify Apple Remote Desktop 2.2 is installed by browsing to
CoreServices/RemoteManagement
install from apple.com/support/downloads/appleremotedesktop22client.html.
6. Install the Altiris Agent. For instructions see
(page 263).
7. After the installation completes, open
in a text editor and change the following:
install.conf
export OS_TOOLBOX=darwin
To:
export OS_TOOLBOX=automation
To edit this file, you can run
and select shift+i to insert the text. When finished, type
install.conf
and save changes.
8. Re-install the Deployment Agent.
Continue to Step 2: Provide Credentials to Access Images
Complete the following procedure to store the credentials required to access the OS X
Servers hosting images. Credentials can also be provided directly in imaging tasks in the

1. From the source computer you are configuring, connect to the Deployment Share by
selecting Finder and then selecting Go > Connect to Server. Provide the server
and share name, for example,
with the IP address of the Deployment Server. When prompted, provide credentials
in the format domain\user.
2. Browse to the
