Hi everybody.

Please, I really need help.

I try to netboot to install MacOS image with Imaging to 13 & 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro with TouchID (Late 2016) but I can’t.

I can see each netboot icon when I boot with option key but I when I choose any one, I have prohibitory symbol.

I’ve tried with :

NetBoot (NBI file) :
10.11.6
10.12.2
10.12.3
10.12.4
10.12.5

Server Jamf Pro :
9.97.1482356336
9.99.0

NetBoot NBI file created with
13 inch Retina MacBook Pro with TouchID (Late 2016)
15 inch Retina MacBook Pro with TouchID (Late 2016)

AutoDMG 1.7.3
Apple System Utility
AutoCasperNBI 1.3.4

Imaging
9.97.1482356336
9.99.0

NetBoot Server :
10.10.3
Server 4.1

Adapter :
USB-C to Gigabit Network Adapter Belkin Black & White Dell Adapter
USB-C to Thunder 2 / Thunder 2 to Ethernet

Same issues with DeployStudio 1.7.1

I am completely desperate

Thank You

Are you 100% sure they are 2016 not 2017? Because Using Apple System Utility and USB-C to Thunder 2 / Thunder 2 to Ethernet I don't have any issue with 10.12.3. Everything was created on a factory clean 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro with TouchID (Late 2016). However my server is 10.12.4 and server version is 5.3 so that is where I would start looking..

We are having issues with 10.12.4 and 10.12.5 but our Apple support guy who is the best, said it's because I am not configuring it correctly. I and I am 90% sure he is right because I was testing custom stuff.

Sorry, you are right.
It's 2017 MacBook pro Touch

I would search hear about building that OS it's going to tricky as the OS on each is specific to each.

And now I have erased the disk in target mode and I can't install system anymore.

I've tried install 10.12.5 in target mode or with usb installer.
The installation process is ok but once finished, at reboot , I still have prohibitory symbol.

It's a nightmare, really.

I don't have recovery partition anymore...
