This guide provides workflows for two different OS X deployment scenarios:

• Deploying an OS X upgrade—This should be used for upgrading OS X on computers that are already configured in your environment. It allows you to preserve the settings and files on computers. For instructions, see Deploying an OS X Upgrade.

• Deploying OS X by imaging— This should be used for configuring newly purchased computers or re-purposing computers that are already part of your environment. It gives you complete control over the settings and files on computers. For instructions, see Deploying OS X by Imaging Using the JSS v9.7 or Later or Deploying OS X by Imaging Using the JSS v9.66 or Earlier.
