1.1.4 Imaging

ZENworks Configuration Management includes a preboot service that enables you to perform tasks
on devices before their operating systems boot up. Using Preboot Services, you can automatically or
manually do the following to a device when it boots up:
Run ZENworks imaging scripts containing any commands that you can issue at the bash
prompt
Take an image of the device's hard drives and other storage devices
Restore an image to the device
Take part in a session where an existing image is applied to multiple devices
Take or restore a WIM image by using Microsoft* ImageX
Take or restore a Ghost image by using Symantec* Ghost
To accomplish some of these tasks automatically, you simply need to have PXE (Preboot Execution
Environment) enabled on your devices, then configure prebootable tasks in ZENworks Control
Center and assign them to the devices. Then, the devices can automatically implement these tasks
when they boot.
To manually implement the tasks, you can configure devices to require user intervention during
bootup.
Using ZENworks Control Center, you can also replicate the
Server to other Imaging servers (Primary Server or Satellite device with the Imaging role).
For more information, see the
Imaging Reference.

1.1.5 Remote Management

ZENworks Configuration Management provides the ability to remotely and securely manage
devices through operations such as Remote Control, Remote View, Remote Execute, Remote
Diagnostics, and File Transfer.
For more information, see the
Reference.

1.1.6 ZENworks Reporting

ZENworks Configuration Management provides advanced reporting capabilities with ZENworks
Reporting Server. ZENworks Reporting Server uses an embedded BusinessObjects Enterprise XI
R3.1 engine to create customized reports. You can use the predefined reports in ZENworks
Reporting Server to report on Asset Management, Patch Management, Inventory, Discovery and
Deployment, Bundles and Policies, and ZENworks Systems. You can also create custom reports,
edit reports, assign rights on reports, and schedule reports to a set of users.
