In order to multicast our restore, we need to embed the Windows image inside our OS X image. To accomplish this, create an image of your syspreped XP partition using Winclone. At the time of this writing, you couldn’t download Winclone from their site so I had to Google for a download link. I have Winclone save the image to the /Library/Management folder on the OS X side of the master machine. I keep a lot of my scripts in this location already.
Now we need to get an image of our OS X install with the XP image inside it. Use DeployStudio to grab an image of the OS X partition as you normally would.
Now we setup our Dual Restore workflow in DeployStudio Admin. First we tell it to Partition the disk.
Then we restore the OS X partition.
We then prompt for the machine’s name.

We tell the machine to run all these changes when OSX boots for the first time and confirm ARD will be turned on.
Then we bind the OS X side to Active Directory. You can also bind to Open Directory at this time if you use OD.
Finally, we’ll restore the Windows partition using this script.
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin export PATH
# Restore the Windows image using WinClone
“/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Management/ArchXP.winclone/winclone.perl” -self-extract
exit 0
Now boot a target machine into DeployStudio and run the workflow you just created. If everything has gone smoothly, the OS X partition will restore and then the Winclone will restore the XP Partition. Your machine should reboot into Leopard and it should rename itself, join OD & AD. Now you need to let windows boot and reboot to finish it’s sysprep process. I like to use the following command to tell the machine to boot into Windows one time only.
/usr/sbin/bless -folder "/Volumes/UNTITLED" -legacy -setBoot -nextonly














Hello! I figured I would drop a short comment considering that I’ve spent the better part of the past half an hour perusing through your weblog articles. I’m fascinated with the good quality of writing you’ve got yourself here, and I’ll definitely be returning to say whats up again in the future. Anyhow I will not take up any more of your time, I just desired to say hello there and enjoy the week.
Thank you for the kind words Odessa!
Does this procedure work for Windows 7 64-bit to?
