TOPIC
In order for clients to NetBoot, what NetBoot processes must be running on the server?
DISCUSSION
The following processes must be running in order for NetBoot to function properly:
- MacintoshManagementServer
- AppleFileServer - this process should be listed twice
- Appletalk
- Inetd
- Bootpd - under more info and the Path & Argument tab the "-m" option will be listed.
To get the window shown below, which lists the active processes, open the ProcessViewer by selecting Show All Processes from the Applications menu on the far right side of the menu bar in Mac OS X Server.
In the ProcessViewer, select "NetBoot Processes" from the pop-up menu in the upper right-hand corner of the window. The following window will be displayed:

If any of these processes are not running, then the NetBoot server may not function correctly.
If no problems are reported during install, but any process is missing, go through the Setup Assistant and verify all the settings are correct.
