Do you ever wonder what happens to the classroom computers during summer vacation? Well, I have to wipe/erase the hard drive and reimage the hard drive with the up to date operating system, complete with anti-virus and latest applications and system updates. I am a teacher and computer technician working in the San Francisco Bay area. One of the classes I teach is A+ Comptia computer repair certification. In this video I am working to re-image the Mac computers in 30 classrooms, so this is how I get to spend the summer vacation. I hope the students appreciate this. First we need to install everything on one Mac, and then make an image copy of the hard drive, which is then put on the server which feeds the copy of the image over the network to the client computers. Once the copy is completed, the client reboots with the new image. We just need to set the computer name to each one so they can be identified over the network properly. As you can see our campus is a Macintosh computer campus. Depending on the grade level, some of the computers have Parallels installed with Windows XP, so they can run OS X or XP as they wish. This summer we are adding over 200 NEW iMacs and giving the teachers NEW Macbooks. Reimaging the hard drive for the new computers has already been completed, so we just need to finish the existing "old" computers. In addition to the update on the operating system, we are upgrading our firewall and network to gigabyte speed and installing new wireless AP devices so students can access the internet securely and with quick connection speeds. We also have multiple Mac Xservers for Mac services. To reimage the clients over the network lookup netboot deployment: System Imaging and Software Update Administration http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/System_Imaging_and_SW_Update_Admin_v10.5.pdf http://www.macgeekery.com/hacks/hardware/make_any_mac_a_netboot_server also http://beta.redes-linux.com/otros_sistemas_english/macosx/L21952A_NetInstall_TB.pdf Please subscribe now to see more videos like this one.

Aug 10, 2008 - Hey nice video. I have a question. How do you connect all the iMacs to a single computer and do you reformat them all at once? I'm asking this because I administrate A bunch of classrooms full of macs and I need advice to how to do it better. Thanks
