However, if the image contained in this bundle was not previously made from this device,
it receives the new ZENworks Control Center object that is defined in the image.
If you do not select this option and the device that this Preboot bundle is applied to has
been given a new hard drive to boot from, then a new ZENworks Control Center object is
created according to your ZENworks Management Zone configuration for non-registered
devices.

Finish to make that assignment.
IMPORTANT: If this Preboot bundle has been created on a management device inside the firewall
and you are assigning it to a device outside the firewall, port 8089 must be open both ways
(PUBLIC -> PRIVATE, and PUBLIC <- PRIVATE).
When a device assigned to the ZENworks Image bundle boots, the bundle's work is performed on
the device before its operating system starts.
Imaging a Device Using a Script
You can perform scripted imaging using the ZENworks Script bundle. Any imaging commands can
be entered for the script.
For example, if you want to mount a DVD and restore an image from it, you could enter something
similar to the following in the Script text field in the Create New Preboot Bundle Wizard when
defining a ZENworks Script bundle:
echo "Please insert the DVD containing the image into the drive."
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
img rl /mnt/cdrom/myimagefile.zmg
umount /mnt/cdrom
eject /dev/cdrom
This example is a combination of automatic and manual tasks, where you define the bundle in the
ZENworks Control Center, assign it to the device, then when the device boots, it runs the bundle's
script, prompting you to insert the DVD containing an image into the device's DVD drive. The
script then runs the commands to restore the image on the device and ejects the DVD when finished.
