Processes:
1. WinPE is loaded and run on the device.
2. The ZENworks Work To Do (ZENworks Third-Party Imaging) application requests the
assigned Preboot Services work details and launches corresponding third-party Imaging engine
to perform the work.
3. The image is laid down on the device and it automatically reboots.
2.3 Setting Up the Preboot Services Methods for
ZENworks Imaging
The Novell ZENworks Imaging Engine that performs the actual imaging of a device is a Linux
application. Unless you use automated Preboot Services with PXE-enabled devices, you need to
prepare a boot medium that has the Linux kernel, ZENworks Imaging Engine, and network drivers
installed.
