Not going to break any NDA here, but:

Take special note of the “Restoring from NetRestore”. The details, of course, are not available, but interested parties of this forum should pay close attention to developments.

Yeah I would guess that is why Bombich took down NetRestore from his site. Apple probably had planned to use his software at some point it just took a while before they decided the time/software was right. I am excited, I hope that some new features have been implemented into NetRestore in 10.6 server. Specifically being able to easiy do some tasks like Directory binding etc.

From: http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/features/client-management.html:
System imaging.
System Image Utility leverages the power of Automator, giving you an intuitive interface for creating NetBoot, NetInstall, and NetRestore disk images. Choose from a preloaded library of actions that allows you to specify settings, additional software packages, and installation procedures — then save them as a workflow that builds the installation image.

Could this be an InstaDMG-esque solution? Sounds promising…

Read further down.

“Restoring from NetRestore.
Snow Leopard Server adds a new feature called NetRestore. It lets administrators build a disk image based on a drive that includes all their customizations — or based on a stock Mac OS X installation DVD. Then, using NetRestore, you can restore a Mac over the network using either the custom volume or the stock DVD.”
