28.3.1 Preboot Bundles

In ZENworks Linux Management, Preboot Services uses bundles to apply Preboot Services work to
devices. For example, Preboot bundles can contain tasks, such as restoring an image, that are
performed at the time a device boots.
In order for a device to utilize a Preboot bundle, the bundle must be assigned to the device, its group,
or its folder.
