Client Management Suite

I want to create a Mac image with altiris setup on the machine and run a post install script to send basic Info on first Boot, I could just setup a rc.local file to run on first boot as well.

Now when I create the image (lion 10.7) I would need to remove the GUID (or reset the GUID) how do I do that on Mac?

To my knowledge, the only place the GUID is stored on the Mac is in the /opt/altiris/notification/nsagent/etc/host.GUID file. You should be able to remove that and the client side won't know it's GUID anymore.

Best practice is to remove that host.GUID file before deploying the image to other machines.

If you have already created the image, you could just run a script during your image deployment to remove that host.GUID file at the same time you are removing the local KDC and other files that need to be removed.

That seems like something your scripted deployment solution should do, Joe. Consider that as an item to add the next time you are updating it.
