Initial modular setup for enterprise Macs

NetInstaller Process

The NetInstaller process uses Apple's System Image Utility to create the NetInstaller. You will need an OS X Installer.app of your OS version choice, and then the Onset pkg found in the Onset/build/Onset-distro.pkg directory. The Onset.pkg runs after the OS has been installed on the machine but before the reboot, and all it does is run a postinstall script that mounts a DMG stored on a server. That DMG contains the custom Onset Runtime.

Custom Onset Runtime

The custom Runtime allows us to enter information such as decal number (which will be used to name the machine i.e. MH02001234LT) and choose what Local Admins we want on the machine.

Interaction between Onset and LiteTouch

The Onset application is called in order to show the GUI interface. After the information is entered (i.e. decal number and lab), the app installs the LiteTouch.pkg and uses that to then perform certain functions like installing the LANrev agent files and a few others.
