Setting Up Imaging Policies 457

42 Setting Up Imaging Policies

The following sections explain how to set up policies for Novell

ZENworks

for Desktops (ZfD)

imaging services, and how to select general imaging server settings. The procedures that are

applicable to you depend on your imaging deployment strategy. (See Chapter 39, “Common

Imaging Deployment Strategies,” on page 439.)

Defining an Imaging Policy for Unregistered Workstations (Server

Policy)

If a Windows workstation hasn’t been registered as a Workstation object in NDS

or Novell

eDirectory

and you boot that workstation from an imaging device or method in auto-imaging

mode, the imaging server is contacted and checks its Imaging Server Policy in NDS or eDirectory

to determine which image to put down on the workstation.

If the base image specified by the policy is the same as the base image currently on the workstation

(as reported by the imaging engine), the imaging server doesn’t send any new images to put down

on the workstation, unless the policy specifies to force down the base image again. If the policy

specifies to force down the base image, or if the base image currently on the workstation is

different than the base image specified by the policy, the imaging server sends down the new base

image and any add-on images specified by the policy, and the imaging engine puts these images

down on the workstation.

WARNING: If you configure an Imaging Server Policy to send an add-on image only (no base image) to a

workstation, the workstation receives the add-on image, but it will also reboot and bring down the image again,

resulting in a reboot/imaging loop.

In addition, if the imaging engine reports to the imaging server that data is missing from the

workstation’s image-safe area, the imaging server obtains the missing data from the Imaging

Server Policy and sends it to the imaging engine, which then saves the data to the image-safe area.

To define the Imaging Server Policy for one or more imaging servers:

1 Prepare the various workstation images that the policy can prescribe. For details, see Chapter

45, “Preparing Images,” on page 469.

2 If a Server Package hasn’t already been created to hold the policies for the target imaging

servers, create one as instructed in Chapter 9, “Creating Policy Packages and Setting Up

Policies,” on page 83.

3 Right-click the Server Package > click Properties.

4 Enable the Imaging Server policy > click Properties.
