So yes, you can automatically enlist nodes through PXE by using the maas-enlist profile (which means you don't need to add the MAC address through the UI). After the node is enlisted, you'll have to go to the MAAS UI and 'Accept & Commission' the new At which point the ^maas-.*-commissioning profiles are used. The other two maas profiles are used when you deploy something to a node. The other ^precise-.* profiles are the one shipped as part of cobbler and are not used by MAAS. Cheers -- Francis J.
