What are the multiple partitions doing? Different software loads? When we're testing, it's either just against the base, individual apps, or complete loads. We've seen this a couple years ago as there are some AppleScript items that act differently with multiple partitions, especially in Tiger and Leopard. If you have a lab with computers with multiple partitions, but that isn't how you're deploying them, there are several tests here that wouldn't be valid tests. I guess I'm not following this thread on how Casper doesn't make a test lab possible. I know I got duplicate machines in the JSS because of Main Logic Boards being swapped out and it making a second entry for it. Serial numbers are also constant and have to be unique and there are tools to "re-flash" your firmware on a new main logic board to put the serial number in System Profiler. This of course would probably change if a major hardware component were to be swapped out. No moving parts, no optical drives, which hopefully means less end user support.?īash-3.2# system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/UUID/ ' For one I think I will like these better. So I am testing the waters on mass deploying Macbook Airs.
OS X already generates a UUID for the Mac itself, but I am not sure how unique it is among thousands of machines.
So I have never dealt with removable MACs. Though I am pretty sure it will go through. I only have 1 Macbook Air in my possession and 1 Ethernet dongle and the budget order hasn't been approved yet, it goes in front of the board tonight.
