Distributing a Mac image
You can deploy a Mac image using the Distribute Disk Image task.
This task deploys only .DMG files that were created using a Create Disk Image task. The
Distribute Disk Image task cannot deploy an image that was created by Apple Disk
Utility or the hdiutil tool.
To deploy a Mac image

In the Name field, choose from one of the following options to add the path to the
Mac (.DMG) image:

afp://server/sharepoint/path/filename.dmg
Provide credentials using the following format:
afp://username:password@server/sharepoint/path/filename.dmg
If no credentials for this server are provided in the automation configuration, the
guest account is used by default.
Warning!
These credentials are passed unencrypted and can be read by a network sniffer.
Caution
The captured disk image must be stored on an AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) share.
