NetRestore Changelog

What's new in NetRestore 3.4.6

Jul 27, 2008
  • Updated the method for applying changes to the target volume's network configuration. Included a newer version of ncutil as well.
  • Resolved some issues handling errors during NTFS restores.
  • The NetInstall-Restore disk image can now be mounted and restored to a local volume, allowing you to boot from a local volume and get similar behavior to a NetBooted client. This is a good option for deployments in which a "hidden" partition is leveraged for restoring the production partition.
  • NRH no longer requires 2X space on the target volume to store the master disk image. If 2X may be required, NRH warns you accordingly if 2X space is not available.

New in NetRestore 3.4.4 (Mar 28, 2008)

  • Resolved an issue in which NetRestore would fail to pre-partition a target disk if the existing volume had a space in its name or had already been partitioned.
  • Updated the byhost_fix utility to offer renaming ByHost files based on system UUID.
  • Added some error trapping during NTFS post-restore actions to handle a (harmless) failed attempt to update the boot.ini file.
  • Reinforced NetRestore's requirement that full automation be enabled for dual-boot deployment
  • Updated the by_host_fix tool to provide support for renaming ByHost preferences based on System UUID. This behavior is not the default, it can be enabled with the byhost_fix.sh post-action script.
  • Resolved an issue in which the "Set target as boot disk" option would cause an error during a dual-boot deployment.

New in NetRestore 3.4.2 (Feb 20, 2008)

  • Fixed a minor issue that would cause the PPC boot file to be copied to the i386 resource directory of the NetInstall-Restore set, causing Intel clients to fail to boot from the NetInstall-Restore set.
  • Added several items to the NetInstall-Restore set that appear to have been dropped from the BaseSystem BOM. In particular, items required for sshd to work.
