Note: If you are new to the K2000 or are new to deploying images to Macs, I strongly suggest you also viewing Corey Serrins article related to imaging for both Windows and Mac systems. There is a 33 minute video session containing both environments. The Mac capture and deploy process described in the below steps are provided on the walk through video, showing you every step of the process which will help set you at ease for the task at hand. Here is the link to Corey's article:

Prior to starting the process of capturing a Mac image from a system, please make sure you are on the latest version of the Mac OS X for the system and also have the latest Macintosh CD. Only version 3.4 on the KBOX supports Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) so if this is the version you plan on capturing, please make sure the K2000 is on version 3.4.
NinjaTrader runs on the.NET framework which requires a Windows operating system. Ninjatrader can be run on a Mac by either installing Virtual Machine software or Apple Boot Camp to run windows on top of Mac hardware. In this article are detailed instructions for 2 options for installing NinjaTrader for Mac. Explore the world of Mac. Check out MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, and more. Visit the Apple site to learn, buy, and get support.
If you plan on using the captured image on different platforms of Mac, then it is also recommended to run a clean up script on the machine you plan on capturing the image from that will remove the cached KEXT files associated to the Mac OS X and its current system. Click Here to view an example of this type of clean up script. When the image is ready, follow these steps:
Then next process is to build a Netboot environment. To do this, follow these steps:
When this completes, the NetBoot environment can be found on the Source Media and Boot Environments page. To enable and configure the K2000 appliance NetBoot server, follow these steps:
The next step requires working with both Pre/Post install tasks. By default, there are some canned Pre/Post install tasks provided within the K2000 in relation to Macs. However, custom Pre/Post install tasks can be created if a canned version is not available for the task you need to be performed during the image process. To setup the Pre/Post install tasks, follow these steps:
(optional) If you plan on creating custom Pre/Post installation tasks, follow these steps prior to adding them to the order on the System Image Detail page:
NOTE: Custom Pre/Post installation tasks are normally not a supported feature provided by KACE Support. KACE Support will attempt best effort in trying to resolve an issue with a custom designed Pre/Post installation task, however if you want KACE Support to create one for you then this type of service request would be handled by Dell KACE Pro-Services.
Now you are able to NetBoot and image a Mac system. If you would like to view the image process from start to finish, press CMD and V (verbose mode)on the Mac in question. Click Here to view other articles related to the above information and troubleshooting NetBoot/Imaging issues.
https://downhfiles320.weebly.com/gem-collector-ghostdreamer-mac-os.html. To capture the image, NetBoot the Mac unit you plan on taking the image from. It will bring you to what would look like a very basic user interface with a very small number of choices on a Dock.
Click on the K2000 Image Utility App in the Dock to launch the application and the utility will appear.
Select the Capture Image tab in the utility. Select the appropriate volume to capture (most often Macintosh HD) and select Start Capture in the bottom right corner. When complete, the image is now ready to deploy. To deploy the image, NetBoot the Mac unit(s) you would like to deploy to. Access the same utility only select the Deploy Image tab.
NOTE: Not all Mac systems can be upgraded to Lion (10.7.X) if you are in fact trying to image an older Mac computer with Lion. Make sure the Mac system meets the requirements found in this article that Apple has made available on their website. Click Here
Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed. It differsfrom other build systems in two major respects: it is designed to haveits input files generated by a higher-level build system, and it isdesigned to run builds as fast as possible.
Where other build systems are high-level languages Ninja aims to bean assembler.
Ninja build files are human-readable but not especially convenientto write by hand. (Seethe generatedbuild file used to build Ninja itself.) These constrained buildfiles allow Ninja to evaluate incremental builds quickly.
Ninja's low-level approach makes it perfect for embedding into morefeatureful build systems; see alist of existing tools. Ninja is used to build Google Chrome,parts of Android, LLVM, and can be used in many other projects due toCMake's Ninja backend.
See the manual for more: philosophicalbackground, whether and how you can use Ninja for your project,platform support, and details about the language semantics.
The last Ninja release is v1.10.2, released 28 Nov 2020. Read the release notes.
You can downloadthe Ninja binary or findit in your system's package manager. Noveen mac os.
