Casper Suite Administrator's Guide v8.7 - JAMF Software

Adding NetBoot Servers
If you have one or more NetBoot servers configured in the JAMF Software Server (JSS), you can reboot
clients to a NetBoot server remotely using a policy or Casper Remote.
NetBoot servers are not set up automatically. To set up a NetBoot server, you need to set up Mac OS X
Server, configure the NetBoot service, and then create the NetBoot image.
There are a few different ways you can set up a NetBoot server when you add it to the JSS—each gives you
a different level of control. You can set up a NetBoot server that allows you to:
Boot to a default image
• Boot to a non-default image
Boot using manually entered information
•
This section explains how to set up, edit, and delete a NetBoot server in the JSS.
