    Image Creation Failed. The operation couldn't be completed. (System Image Utility error 2.) I am using System Image Utility and cannot upload a image to the mac server. I've successfully done this before with Yosemite.

    Creating an image, and uploading it to the server, are two completely different things... Unless you are trying to create the image on a volume mounted from your server? I didn't think SIU allowed that. Even if it does, you shouldn't create them that way. It's much faster to build the image locally, and copy the completed image to your server.

     

    "error 2" is basically a useless error that comes back from the script execution phase of the image creation process. It means "something went wrong." Set the log level, in SIU preferences, to verbose (Yosemite) or debug (Mavericks or earlier) to have the script phase output dumped into the log.
