In depth

A closer look at PSU Blast Image Config 2.0b17

PSU Blast Image Config (aka "BIC") is a complete software solution to quickly restore and configure a Macintosh back to a known state:

Configure and set the Open Firmware security, preventing unauthorized access via single (root) user mode or booting from external devices
Set the date and time
Restore a master disk image quickly to a Mac's internal hard disk
Configure the network settings on the restored disk (via ncutil):
- IP Address : DHCP or Manual (Static)
- Subnet Mask & Router
- DNS Servers
- Network Names (Computer and Local)
Change the startup disk to the restored disk
Extensible through pre- and post-restore scripts
Specify default and autorun settings via a preference file

This tool is intended to automate the build process as much as possible. We use BIC here at PSU to do the initial install of the base OS and applications on all of our lab and kiosk Macs.
