Booting with a Non-English Keyboard If you will image computers that have non-English keyboards, the imaging boot device or method must include additional language support, in the form of a language diskette.
PAGE 16
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 The following are the requirements for this workstation: Workstation Must Have Because A supported Ethernet card The workstation must connect with the imaging server to store or retrieve the images. This connection is made when the workstation is under the control of the ZfD Workstation Imaging engine (which is a Linux application), not when the workstation is running under Windows. Therefore, make sure the workstation has a supported Ethernet card.
PAGE 17
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 For more information on registering the workstation as an object, see “Automatic Workstation Import and Removal” on page 59. You don’t need to complete all the tasks mentioned in the instructions. Just create a server policy package that contains a minimal workstation import policy (use the defaults for naming, groups, and limits), and then associate the server package with the container where you want the Workstation object to be created.
PAGE 18
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 Workstation Type Steps Windows XP 1. Copy ziswin.exe and ziswinr.dll (in the nls\english subfolder or the appropriate language subfolder) to your windows\system32 folder. 2. From a command prompt, change to your windows\system32 folder > type ziswin -install > press Enter. 4c Reboot the workstation. 5 Take an image of the workstation as instructed in “Manually Taking an Image of a Workstation” on page 462.
PAGE 19
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 From this point on, whenever the workstation is rebooted, the imaging engine will gain control and check the imaging server to see if an imaging operation should be performed. If you have not configured the Workstation object (in NDS or eDirectory) to trigger an unattended imaging operation, the imaging engine will simply exit and automatically reboot the workstation to Windows.

Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 5 Follow this step if you are using Preboot Services: If you are using Preboot Services but previously booted workstations from a ZfD Workstation Imaging (Linux) partition, you can select to disable the ZfD imaging partition on the General Imaging Partition property page. The partition is not removed with this option.
PAGE 23
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 Defining an Imaging Policy for Registered Workstations (Workstation Policy) If a Windows workstation has been registered as a Workstation object in NDS or eDirectory and you boot that workstation from an imaging device or method in auto-imaging mode, the imaging server is contacted and checks the Workstation object to see if the administrator has flagged it to receive an image.
PAGE 24
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 Remember that the policy won’t actually be consulted by the imaging server unless you (or another administrator) flags a Workstation object to receive an image on the next boot. Allowing Overwriting Filenames and Restricting Save Location of Image Files (Imaging Server Settings) Most of the rules that comprise an Imaging Server Policy apply only when the imaging server is servicing a request to auto-image a workstation.

Novell Confidential 45 Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 Preparing Images Novell® ZENworks® for Desktops (ZfD) provides tools for creating and compressing images of computer hard disks as well as images of specific add-on applications or file sets. ZfD also provides tools for customizing such images and for making images available to auto-imaging operations through NDS® or Novell eDirectoryTM. The following sections explain how to perform these tasks.
PAGE 34
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 You do this in ConsoleOne by using the Imaging property page (on the Common tab) of the Application object. For details, click Help on that property page. An add-on image created in this manner is not fully installed on the target computer until after the computer reboots from being imaged and Application Launcher/Explorer starts up and runs the new Application object. Deploying the image is essentially another way to distribute an Application object.
PAGE 35
Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003 The registry settings contained in the .reg files that you add are applied after the image is put down and the target computer reboots to Windows, if the Imaging Agent has been installed on the computer. As with any other file or folder that you add, a .reg file is included in all variants of the image unless you explicitly exclude it from one or more variants. For information on starting Image Explorer, see “Image Explorer (Imgexp.exe)” on page 479.
