What version of OS X, and how sophisticated was your WDS push? (i.e. WOL to PXE to master image + MSI's via GPO?)
These are new iMacs - they have Lion. 10.7.3, I believe.
This deployment is going to be a one-time thing. It will not be very often that I would ever have to clone another iMac since we are 95% Windows.
For WDS, I'm not using Wake on Lan, but I am using PXE booting. All of the software applications are included in the software image, so I'm not deploying anything through GPO (yet.)
Also, I'm wondering about Final Cut X and Compressor. These apps are available on the App Store, and they have unique redemption codes. Should I NOT install these on the base image before I clone, and just install them after I get the base image loaded onto the other iMacs?
