NetInstall vs Profile Manager

Hello

For years, I am using NetInstall unroll my Mac to my 50ish users. As typical, I created a machine exactly as I want.  When I buy a new machine (or decide to reimage an old), I start to restore image, change the name of the account, copy the files, change some applications and settings and done.

I keep reading (and the Apple business team have alluded to) the fact that the Profile Manager is supposed to do something similar, but I am at a loss why I would use rather than what I do. It seems more oriented toward mobile devices and also seems rather complicated to install and manage. Maybe it's me, but it seems to make more sense to implement a customer while I am interested in it if the dock and different options are exactly what I want.

Then, someone actually uses the profile for computers Manager? And what are the benefits on the fair site from scratch and copying users files to a computer newly set up, the way I did?

Thank you

The f

Profile Manager allows you to set parameters for individual users, for individual computers, user groups, groups of machines, groups of. If you want to change a parameter that takes a few seconds and change is pushed towards the target automagically. You will want to get a copy of Apple Remote Desktop, you can use to install the packages and files.

In comparison, "Re-imaging from scratch" is slow and inflexible.
