  Please correct your article: APFS is *not* a “firmware” update ! It is a new filesystem.

  Thanks for the commment David,
  I have already mentioned APFS as file system in first line. To have a working machine with APFS as file system, firmware upgrade is required. It's already in installer-high sierra. It can be extracted from an installed too if need as a package.

  The option to create a HFS+ image with AutoDMG is available from the Advanced Options dialog under the Window menu. Just select HFS+J from the dropdown, no need to use Terminal or a template.

  Hi Chnacat,

  Please create a new file and save it with name MySite.adtmpl as mentioned in step 3 and copy contents in it and edit where required. Or you can use the option mentioned by Kevinmcox in comment above.

  Thanks

  From the developer, Per Olofsson, himself:

  'There's no reason to use the command line or a template for this
  All you need to do is:
  1) Download the latest High Sierra installer from the App Store
  2) Launch AutoDMG
  3) Open Window -> Advanced Options, and select `HFS+J`
  4) Drag & drop the High Sierra installer on AutoDMG
  5) Click build
  (You might need to click Download if updates haven't been cached yet)'

  If you need help using AutoDMG I'd suggest joining the #autodmg channel in the MacAdmins Slack where Olofsson and other folks willing to help hang out.

  There isn't one. That process does not set up any user account, just like a fresh out-of-the-box setup of any OS.
  If you want to create a user, add a package created by Greg Neagle's pycreateuserpkg
  https://github.com/gregneagle/pycreateuserpkg

  Do NOT use the now abandoned 'createuserpkg' software.

  Could I just use http://magervalp.github.io/CreateUserPkg/

  and include the PKG when building the DMG?

  Thanks,

  Hi chriscampbell19,
  As David said, Its will be a OOB setup.
  I use Deploystudio workflow in my school to create Initial Admin User and then I bind it to AD. I use Scripts, Modified Packages for making assigned AD user as Admin too, register to Meraki, install papercut, install printers, Create modified Dock and shortcuts, Install Munki and other softwares like office 365, Autodesk apps , Adobe apps , chrome, firefox, textwrangler, java, vlc....etc.etc
  Here is what i use:-
  DeployStudio, AUTO DMG Packages, AutoPkgr, SuspiciousPackage, Munki, Munki Admin, Managed Software Center.

  Happy Deploying :-)

  Thanks Avtar.Singh

  We are still wanting to use Deploy Studio as well and don't plan on converting from HFS+ to APFS on our current systems; just yet. We are using JAMF internally to manage packages, updates, scripts, configuration profiles, etc. but don't have DEP/JAMF tie-in setup just yet. Our goal down the road is to have JAMF/DEP setup so that when we renew our 3-year lease with Apple all of our new 400+ iMac's automatically get registered and once plugged into the network a configuration profile is installed on each machine with connection directly to our JAMF server. We are currently in the testing phase of pushing out High Sierra over the summer. Thanks for all the info on the products you are using for management.

  Hi Again,

  Being an apple Distinguished School, We have over 1500+ School owned devices which include iMac's, Air's, Pro's and Ipad's excluding 100+ apple Tv's. Plus 600 BYOD's (ipads). School owned devices (serials) are added to CISCO Meraki DEP and Apple enrollment program when we purchase them.

  Apps and settings are pushed to all IPads (school owned and BYOD) using Meraki.

  Free DepoyStudio Workflow setup which i mentioned in my previous comment is used to deploy HFS+ high Sierra (10.13.4) to iMac's, Air's, Pro's.

  I had a look at JAMF, its cost was very high as compared to the mixed setup we use here until Apple decides to stop network boot or for any other excuse they can come up with. Only thing we pay for is Meraki License and 2 Mac Mini's ( max RAM and Fast Disk) and Deploy Studio Sync between 2 Mac Mini's as a failsafe because Apple decided not to build dedicated Servers anymore.

  Note:- If you are looking in to DS then we have 4 workflows in DeployStudio: For Staff, for Students, For Loan Device, For OOB. Each workflow install specific apps and packages for staff and students. OOB doesn't have any apps in it. Munki/ Managed Software center for Mac is like WSUS server for Windows

  Thanks,
