I just took the 10.10.3 netboot image that we run from our old imaging lab and confirmed that machines are able to netbook this image from the new mac mini server in a timely manner, but not the 10.11.4 netrestore images.any thoughts on why 10.11.4 restores would be so inconsistent?

The results we see when booting this image is extremely sporadic.you might get a machine that will quickly complete the net restore process, but you might only get 1/2 to 3/4 through the boot progress bar and it will just hang.

If you just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan, make sure to cleanup your preference files (best to google how to resolve upgrade issues for details). Try using Firefox or Opera instead for accessing and downloading from Microsoft. We recently built a new imaging lab for a new location and i setup a fresh mac mini with 10.11.4, latest server, and created a new 10.11.4 netrestore NBI via SIU. Reboot your Mac and If you were using Safari before to download from the Microsoft website. After preparing your USB drive start your PC and do the following settings and you will able to boot into OS X installer.

Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS remove any existing DNS entries and add either of the following: 208.67.222.222. We have had a mac mini on 10.10.3 for some time now that serves all of our netboot/netrestore images. If you have access to macintosh or hackintosh computer prepare USB drive with Unibeast otherwise to make Bootable USB on windows follow the guide on my channel. I found two working DNS that helped me download the OS X. I just wanted to chime in here since we are getting similar behavior with our 10.11.4 NetRestore images. The Recovery installs different versions of macOS depending on the key combination you press while starting up.
