Don't worry, if a Bootcamp partition doesn't exist then it will quit gracefully.

Add this script to your Bootstrapping policies.

Set this policy to cache the Bootcamp image to the computer. The trigger should be set to the same name as in step 4. This should be set to run every time and only on a manual trigger.

Create a policy to deploy the first of your Bootcamp images.

This step isn't strictly necessary but it does keep the place tidy.

Create a new Casper category called 'Bootcamp Images'.

You may have to zip them up first if Casper doesn't do that for you already. In the script i've got them named as 'Win7-5-64bit'. (Unless you're removing the Recovery partition, then partition 3

It is essential that you set the pkgs to deploy to partition 4.

Prepare your Winclone images so that they are self extracting and pkg installers.

(that's right, get Casper not Winclone to do the partitioning work). Prepare your deployment workflows in Casper so that it creates a blank NTFS partition on the boot drive as partition 4.What this script will do is detect if you have a bootcamp partition present, your computer's Model Identifier, cache the appropriate image onto the system, install it and then rename it so it has the same hostname as your OS X installation but with 'PC-' appended in front of it. There's separate scripts and procedures for both. (At time of writing, 5 is the latest version) While I can't do much about the generation of those images, I can hopefully make their deployment a lot easier. Unfortunately that means separate images which is the admin's worst nightmare. However my current circumstances don't allow it's use since we still have 32bit machines (!) here.Ī thorny problem indeed. I've used it myself and found it very good. Now Tim Sutton has done wonders with his Brigadier tool. Images from 2014 macs don't work on 2015 macs and then you have to mix in all the different bootcamp versions. Short version is 2015 mac generated images only work on 2015 macs. Thanks to Apple continually updating Bootcamp versions, never having a generic driver installer and more recently with the 2015 Macs changing the supported disk sector size from 512 to 4096 it's never been harder to generate deployable Bootcamp images. Script to be run as part of your Casper or DeployStudio bootstrapping workflows to install a specific bootcamp image to a computer.
