Standard ZENworks Image

Use this page to put an image on the workstation according to the base and add-on files listed below. You can also choose whether to delete the Linux* imaging partition at the same time you image a workstation.

Base Image File
This option is only available for standard imaging. It specifies the base image file associated with this image object. Click the browse button next to this field to select an image file on a server in your Novell^® eDirectory^TM tree. If you want this image object to consist only of add-on images, leave this field blank.

Add-On Image Files
This option is only available for standard imaging. It lists the add-on image files associated with this image object. These images are put on the workstation one at a time after the base image in the order listed, unless at any point the system determines there isn't enough room on the workstation for the next image.

To select an image file to add to the list, click Add.
To move an image file up or down in the list, select it, then click Move Up or Move Down.
To modify an entry in the list, select it, then click Modify.
To remove an image file from the list, select it, then click Remove.

Use File Set
Specifies which fileset (variant) of the base and add-on images is associated with this image object. The same variant of the base image and of each add-on image is used. If you don't know whether any variants exist, leave this field set to 1. By default, all files belong to all filesets.

Delete the ZENworks Imaging Partition, If It Exists, When Bringing Down the Base Image
This option is only available for standard imaging. During the imaging process, it completely removes the Linux imaging partition from the workstation. If you are imaging using PXE with a PXE-enabled workstation, you no longer need to keep this partition.

WARNING: Make sure that the image you restore was made on a computer without a Linux imaging partition. Otherwise, the wrong MBR (Master Boot Record) is restored, and the computer will fail to boot. In addition, if you remove the Linux imaging partition from a Windows* NT*/2000/XP computer, Windows will no longer be able to boot. You should only remove the Linux imaging partition if you are going to restore an image to the computer.
