Common Imaging Deployment Strategies 439

Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003

39 Common Imaging Deployment Strategies

The following overview sections present possible approaches to deploying Novell

ZENworks

for Desktops imaging services for some common enterprise scenarios. Use the following sections

to determine which procedures (documented in subsequent sections) to perform and in what order:

 “Installing a Standard Image Before Deploying New Workstations” on page 439

 “Enabling Existing Workstations for Future Reimaging” on page 440

 “Reimaging Corrupted Workstations” on page 440

 “Restoring Lab or Classroom Workstations to a Clean State” on page 441

Installing a Standard Image Before Deploying New Workstations

As new computers are purchased, before deploying them you can install a standard software

platform and enable the computer for future unattended reimaging.

1. Create a model workstation of each type that you’ll deploy, and create an image of each on a

ZENworks for Desktops Workstation Imaging server. For more information, see “Manually

Taking an Image of a Workstation” on page 462. These images should include the Imaging

Agent and either the Novell Client

or ZENworks for Desktops Management Agent.

ZENworks for Desktops lets ZENworks work with or without an installation of the Novell

Client on the workstation. If your setup does not require the client, then the Management

Agent must be installed. For more information, see Installing the ZfD Management Agent on

a Workstation in the ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1 Installation Guide.

2. Create imaging boot diskettes or CDs that point to the ZENworks for Desktops Workstation

Imaging server where the model images are stored (not required if you are using Preboot

Services). For more information, see “Preparing an Imaging Boot Device or Method” on

page 445.

3. Create a policy for unregistered workstations that specifies which image to put on a new

machine, depending on its hardware. For more information, see “Defining an Imaging Policy

for Unregistered Workstations (Server Policy)” on page 457.

4. If you are using Preboot Services, install ZENworks for Desktops Preboot Services (PXE

Support) on your imaging server. For more information, see ZENworks for Desktops 4

Preboot Services PXE-on-Disk User Guide.

As each new computer comes in, do the following:

1. If you are using Preboot Services, check to see if the workstation is PXE capable. Enable PXE

if it isn’t enabled by default. For more information, see “Preboot Services (PXE)” on

page 445.

2. Physically connect the workstation to the network. If you are using Preboot Services, boot it

from the Imaging/Preboot Services server. If you are not using Preboot Services, boot it with

the imaging boot diskettes or CD and install the ZENworks for Desktops Workstation Imaging
