9 (Optional) If you chose Master in
in the fields:
Compression Level: Specify the compression level you want to use for this multicast session:
None: No data compression is used. Data is sent immediately across the network to
participating devices. You might use this option if the master device has a slow CPU; the
amount of time to compress the data is eliminated and the data is immediately sent across
the network. However, this option creates more network traffic than if you selected one of
the other compression levels (Speed, Balanced, or Size).
Speed: Takes the least amount of time to compress the data before the data is sent across
the network to participating devices. You might use this option if the master device has a
slow CPU; the amount of time to compress the data is reduced before the data is sent
across the network. With this option, however, the multicast session creates more network
traffic than if you selected either the Balanced or Size compression level.
Balanced: Represents a compromise between data compression and the amount of
network traffic that the multicast session creates.
Size: Takes the most amount of time to compress the data before sending it across the
network to participating devices. You might use this option if the master device has a fast
CPU. Using this option requires the most CPU resources to compress the data but creates
less network traffic to transfer the data to the participating devices.
Automated Session: Click Enabled to specify the number of participating devices (clients)
that must register before starting the automated multicast session and to specify the amount of
time, in minutes, that can expire without the number of participating devices to register before
starting the automated multicast session. If you do not click the Enabled check box, you must
manually start the multicast session.
10 Click Next, then click Start session.
You can cancel the session by clicking Abort session > Yes > OK > Close.
11 At each participating device, when the imaging is done, boot the device with the new operating
system.
3.3 Configuring Imaging Script Bundles for
ZENworks Imaging
An Imaging Script bundle can contain any ZENworks script (containing the general shell and
ZENworks Imaging Engine
prompt.
Using Configuration Management, you can install software by using a bundle. Software included in
a bundle that is assigned directly is considered mandatory; the software is installed on all assigned
devices (the bundle is directly assigned to the devices, their groups, or their folders).
To configure an Imaging Script bundle and assign devices to the bundle:
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click Bundles in the left pane to display the Bundles panel.
2 Click New > Bundle to start the Create New Bundle Wizard.
3 In the Create New Bundle Wizard, select Imaging Bundle, then click Next.
4 On the Select Imaging Bundle Type page, select Imaging Script, then click Next to display the
Define Details page.
