utility. You can use the utility to perform the third-party imaging operations.

where you can execute imaging commands.
Disable ZENworks Partition: Prevents an existing ZENworks partition from being used
during booting to execute the assigned Imaging bundles.
Enable ZENworks Partition: Allows an existing ZENworks partition to be used during

You can use ZENworks Control Center to configure whether this menu should be displayed on a
PXE-enabled device by selecting one of the following options:

1.3.3 Non-Registered Device Settings

Devices that are new to the Management Zone and have received their first image need certain IP
configuration information to successfully access the network and network services. You can use
Preboot Services to automatically name your non-registered devices, using such criteria as prefixes,
BIOS information (like asset tags or serial numbers), DNS suffixes, and you can set up DHCP or IP
addresses.
For example, the device needs a unique IP address and the address of at least one DNS name server.
In many networks, this information is distributed through the DHCP services, but it can also be
configured through the default Preboot Services configuration settings in ZENworks Control Center.
After a device has registered with ZENworks, its configuration is set and the non-registered device
settings in the Management Zone no longer apply to it, because the ZENworks server now knows its
identity. Whether it becomes a member of the zone or continues to be a non-registered device
depends on whether the image applied to the device contains the ZENworks Configuration
Management Imaging Agent (novell-ziswin).
The settings that can be adjusted for a Management Zone are:
DNS suffix: Provides a suffix for all of your devices' names. For example, provo.novell.com.
Workgroup: The Windows workgroup that you want the device to be a member of.
Name Servers: Controls which DNS servers a device uses. You can specify multiple DNS
name servers.
