I'm trying to determine a basic strategy for deploying a single image on multiple Intel Macs that will: (1) run OS X and Win XP; and (2) enable binding to Active Directory for both OS X and Win XP I believe that requirement (2) means that I cannot use NetBoot, because AD will not allow multiple Windows clients to have a single computer name (though AD will allow multiple OS X machines to do so). If this is *not* true, I would very much appreciate learning how NetBoot can be used with an image that includes Windows bound to AD. I have tried unsuccessfully to distribute from a FireWire box an image of OS X 10.4 running Parallels and Win XP: I used Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner to create on a bootable FireWire box an ASR disk image of a prototype machine. Booting each lab machine from the FireWire box, I used Bombich's Net Restore to propagate that image (and I planned to use DeepFreeze to hold the machines in stasis). I renamed each machine manually in both OS X System Prefs and in Windows > Control Panel > Computer, and then attempted to bind both operating systems to AD. However, once bound, Windows crashed consistently on restart. Folks, please advise. How do I get OS X and Windows, plus authentication to AD for both, on multiple machines?
