Setting Up Imaging Policies 459

Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 28 October 2003

Defining an Imaging Policy for Registered Workstations

(Workstation Policy)

If a Windows workstation has been registered as a Workstation object in NDS or eDirectory and

you boot that workstation from an imaging device or method in auto-imaging mode, the imaging

server is contacted and checks the Workstation object to see if the administrator has flagged it to

receive an image. If this is the case and the administrator hasn’t specified which image to use, the

imaging server consults the Workstation Imaging Policy associated with the Workstation object to

determine which image to send down.

To define the Workstation Imaging Policy for one or more workstations:

1 Prepare the various workstation images that the policy can prescribe. For details, see Chapter

45, “Preparing Images,” on page 469.

2 If a Workstation Package hasn’t already been created to hold the policies for the target

workstations, create one as instructed in Chapter 9, “Creating Policy Packages and Setting Up

Policies,” on page 83.

3 Right-click the Workstation Package > click Properties.

4 Enable the Workstation Imaging policy > click Properties.

5 Follow this step if you are using Preboot Services:

If you are using Preboot Services but previously booted workstations from a ZfD Workstation

Imaging (Linux) partition, you can select to disable the ZfD imaging partition on the General

Imaging Partition property page. The partition is not removed with this option.

Use the General PXE Settings property page to specify the availability of the PXE menu,

which displays when you boot a PXE-enabled workstation. Click Help for details.

If you want to specify a different image when using Preboot Services, rather than the default

image that is defined, specify the image file and pathname.

6 On the Image Selection Rules property page, click Add > select a Workstation Image object

(for more information, see “Creating a Workstation Image Object” on page 471) > use the

drop-down fields and operators to specify the conditions under which the selected image

should be used (click Help for details) > click OK.

Repeat this step as many times as needed to specify the particular images that should be used

under different conditions.

These rules will be used by your imaging server to determine which image to put on

workstations during unattended imaging operations. The various hardware configuration data

specified in the rules are compared against the actual hardware configuration data detected by

the Workstation Imaging engine on the workstation. To see this data for a particular

workstation, boot it with the imaging boot diskettes in manual mode and issue the img info

command or enter img > select Information from the menu.

Take care to choose rules that apply only to the workstations you want imaged. Otherwise, an

image could be pushed to another workstation unintentionally.

7 Click OK to save the policy.

8 On the Associations page, add the container, Workstation Group, or Workstation objects that

represent the target set of workstations.

9 Click OK to save the association.
