OS X Server: Creating NetBoot Image

I am trying to generate a NetBoot Image on a Mountain Lion Server (10.8.2) and cannot figure out how to download:

"Install Mac OS X Mountain Lion" application from the Apps Store.

I followed the directions in HT4178 and when I use the option key then selecting the Purchases Tab, I do not get "Download" changing to "Install". If I select "Download" it warns me that I already have the most current OS version. What am I doing wrong?

Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, MacMini Server(10.7.4)

Hi,

first click on "Download" in the AppStore to get the last version of Mountain Lion. Say that you want to download it even if it's already installed.

It should download in the Application folder.

At the end of the download, do not install but close the dialog box and leave the installer where it is.

Then use use System Image Utility that you can find in System/Library/Core Services.
