Empty Bundle
This bundle contains no initial tasks. You can quickly create this bundle without performing all of
tasks in the Create New Bundle Wizard. Later, you can edit its details to add assignments, actions,
and so forth. For example, you could create an empty bundle, then in the bundle's properties add the
Linked Application Bundle
Imaging Script Bundle
Allows you to write a custom Linux script that is executed on PXE-enabled devices. This provides
detailed control over ZENworks imaging operations, as well as most Linux-based preboot tasks.

Imaging," on page
Multicast Image Set Bundle
Specifies an image that can be sent using the multicast protocol. This bundle allows you to send an
existing image to a large number of devices in a single operation. It is ideal for labs, classrooms, and
staging areas.

"Multicasting Images for ZENworks Imaging," on page
Benefits
You can image multiple devices with the least amount of overhead. Devices to be imaged can have a
variety of operating systems installed
Using the multicast capabilities of your network, you minimize network traffic by sending the image
file across the network once for all devices to be imaged, rather than individually per device.
Limitations
Using the same image on multiple devices means they all have the same network identities.
However, you can install the ZENworks Configuration Management Imaging Agent (novell-ziswin)
on these devices prior to performing the multicast, because this agent saves each device's network
identity settings and restores them after the multicast image is applied.
Third-Party Image Bundle
Allows you to specify the third-party images to be restored on a device. ZENworks supports:.
Microsoft* ImageX that uses the WIM image file format and WinPE as the distro.
