446 ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1 Administration Guide
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003
Enable PXE on the workstation
Have a standard DHCP server, either on your imaging server or on another network server.
For information about requirements, installation, deployment, and administration of Preboot
Services, see the ZfD 4 ZENworks for Desktops 4 Preboot Services Installation and Configuration
Guide guide. You can access this guide during the ZfD 4 installation by clicking Installation >
Preboot Services Documentation.
If You Have Previously Installed a ZfD Workstation Imaging (Linux) Partition
If you decide to use Preboot Services but have previously installed a ZfD imaging partition on the
workstation, you can disable or delete the partition. You can disable (and enable) the ZfD imaging
partition when you boot to Linux using any imaging boot device or method. You can delete the
ZfD imaging partition only when you are putting an image on the workstation using standard
imaging, and only when you boot the workstation from an imaging boot device or method other
than the ZfD imaging partition.
IMPORTANT: After you have deleted the ZfD imaging partition, you need to make sure that the image you
put on the workstation was made on a computer without a ZfD imaging partition. Otherwise, the wrong MBR
(Master Boot Record) is restored, and the computer will fail to boot. In addition, if you remove the ZfD imaging
partition from a Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, or Windows XP machine, Windows will no longer be able to
boot. You should only remove the ZfD imaging partition if you are going to restore an image to the workstation.
Diskettes
Imaging boot diskettes are an easy device to prepare. Four diskettes are required, five if you need
to image computers that have non-English keyboards.
Creating Imaging Boot Diskettes
1
Format four high-density diskettes, or use preformatted blank diskettes. If you need the
imaging boot diskettes to include support for booting your test workstation with a non-English
keyboard, you’ll need a fifth diskette.
2 Browse to the zenworks\imaging folder in your ZfD installation (on the imaging server) and
run zimgboot.exe.
TIP: You can also start zimgboot.exe in ConsoleOne
®
by clicking Tools > ZENworks Utilities > Imaging
> Create or Modify Boot Diskette.
