Easily manage the software on network bootable system images
Instead of installing software on one computer at a time, you can create a system image with all the software your users need, and deploy it to a variety of Mac models on your network. Or, create a network-bootable macOS image that users can start up from. To get started, choose a source image and the type of network disk image you want to create.
