Resize a Partition in an Image: For base images, you can edit the value in the Original size
text box to allow you to change how big the ZENworks Imaging Engine makes the partition
when the image is restored. For more information, see
page 185.
Purge Deleted Files: You can completely remove excluded or hidden files and folders from an
open image. This saves space in the image if you no longer want to include the files. For more
information, see
Exclude Individual Files and Folders from the Image: In doing this, you create subsets of
the image by specifying which of ten possible file sets to exclude a given file or folder from.
This exists merely as internal attributes of the same image archive. For more information, see
"Unhiding Directories or Files in the Image" on page
IMPORTANT: Do not exclude BIOS Parameter Block (BPB) files from a base image or the
device won't be able to boot the new operating system after receiving the image.
Add Files and Folders to the Image: By default, any file or folder you add is included in all
file sets. To change this, you must explicitly exclude the file or folder from one or more file
sets. For more information, see
For information on starting Image Explorer, see
page 181.
Manually Restoring an Image on a Device
The section explains how to restore an image to the device by booting from an imaging method and
entering a particular imaging command. The image is retrieved from your Imaging Server.
Ensure that the device receiving a new image has enough disk space for the image. Otherwise, you
receive a "Failed to write to proxy" error.
The following sections contain additional information:
"Using the Imaging Maintenance Mode Prompt to Manually Restore an Image to a Device" on
page 112
"Using the ZENworks Imaging Engine Menu to Manually Restore an Image to a Device" on
page 114
Using the Imaging Maintenance Mode Prompt to Manually Restore an Image to a Device
1 If you haven't already done so, create the image to restore on the device, as instructed in
"Manually Taking an Image of a Device" on page
Make sure that the image is of the same type of device (same hardware configuration) and is
stored on your Imaging Server. You can use a previous image of the same device.
IMPORTANT: If you are restoring an image on a device without a ZENworks partition, make
sure the image was made on a device without a ZENworks partition. Otherwise, the wrong
MBR (Master Boot Record) is restored, and the device fails to boot.
2 (Optional) Boot the device from a Windows startup disk and run
from the hard disk.
Running
or server partitions before and after the imaging operation.
