NetRestore images losing settings

Hi all,

I often need to set up machines with a specific configuration for kiosk use - so various options are disabled to "lock down" the mac, energy saving/screensaver disabled etc.

Doing so individually is time-consuming and prone to mistakes, so I have set up my desk Mac Mini to run Server with NetInstall, and host a NetRestore image created from a machine which I had configured precisely how I wanted it.

I successfully restored this image to various Mac Minis - however, whilst most of the things are there just as they should be (user accounts, most settings, other files etc)... some settings don't seem to transfer.

It doesn't seem to ever transfer...

• Screen saver settings
• System Preferences set to disable volume, bluetooth, clock etc from the taskbar

Both of these are a pain because I then have to individually configure each mac, which is what I aimed to avoid!

As an aside, using Carbon Copy Cloner results in the same behaviour. Is there something I'm missing in terms of getting these settings to transfer to another mac?

Many thanks for any assistance!

Cheers,

Tom.
