Image storage security: You can restrict where to save image files on the imaging server.
Š
Non-registered device settings: 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.
Š
Preboot work assignment rules: Work assignment rules are used to determine which bundle
should be applied to which device. The work rules use logic to determine whether a device
meets the requirements for applying the Preboot bundle. A rule is comprised of filters that are
used to determine whether a device complies with the rule. The AND and OR logical operators
are used for creating complex filters for the rule.
Š
Preboot referral lists: When a device boots, it is necessary for it to find its home ZENworks
Management Zone to get its assigned preboot work. If multiple management zones exist on the
network, referral lists provide a method for allowing a managed device to find its home zone.
Š
Intel Active Management Technology (AMT): Intel* AMT provides Preboot Services with
persistent device identification.
To configure these settings, click Configuration > Preboot Services . For more information, see
Section 29.4, “Configuring Preboot Services Defaults,” on page 379 .
27.5 Setting Up Devices to Use Preboot Bundles
In order for a device to automatically use a Preboot bundle, you must first assign a Preboot bundle to
the device, its parent folder, or its group; and then you must set up the device to apply the bundle.
Preboot Services utilizes PXE and other boot mechanisms and media to trigger the preboot work.
