    Hi!

    Apple finally made it possible to upgrade from a major OS (10.6 to 10.7) via an application running on the client, rather than having to boot of a DVD on 100 individual computers.
    Does anyone know of a way to kick this installation procedure off remotely?
    Currently I am remoting onto the machines via ARD and manually clicking the “Install Mac OS X Lion” app, then choosing Next, Next, Next, Install

    it would be nice to be able to schedule this via an ARD task so the installer runs silently without the need to click on the GUI to kick off the installation.
    Any ideas?

    TIA!

    Hi, have you had a look at how munki can do it?

    May not be exactly what you want but worth a look.

    Not sure why my reply was deleted as “spam”, but I’ll try again.
    Thanks for the help. The first google search result proved very useful (as did the original reply).
    Much appreciated. My initial googling failed to return anything of interest (hence me posting here). I was searching for “silent install” etc.
