Always Show Preboot Menu
Never Show Preboot Menu
Show Preboot Menu if CTRL+ALT Pressed
IMPORTANT: Do not select Always Show Preboot Menu if you have AutoYaST or kickstart

process, keeping the AutoYaST or kickstart bundles from being deployed on the device. The

automatically implement the AutoYaST or kickstart bundles.
5 Click either Apply or OK to save the change.
This sets the default Preboot Services Menu display mode for the ZENworks Management Zone.
This can be overridden at the folder or device level. For more information, see
