Preparing Images 211

Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 11 September 2003

In doing this, you create variants of the image by specifying which of ten possible filesets

(variants) to exclude a given file or folder from. The variants exist merely as internal attributes

of the same image archive.

WARNING: Do not exclude .BPB files from a base image or the workstation won’t be able to boot the

new operating system after receiving the image.

 Add files and folders to the image

By default, any file or folder you add is included in all variants. To change this, you must

explicitly exclude the file or folder from one or more variants.

 Add Windows registry (.REG) files

The registry settings contained in the .REG files that you add are applied after the image is

laid down and the target computer reboots to Windows, if the imaging agent has been installed

on the computer.

As with any other file or folder that you add, a .REG file is included in all variants of the image

unless you explicitly exclude it from one or more variants.

For information on starting Image Explorer, see “Image Explorer (IMGEXP.EXE)” on page 219.

For information on how to complete the above tasks after you have started the utility, see the online

help in the utility.

Making an Image Available for Auto-Imaging

When you boot a computer from an imaging device or method and allow the bootup process to

proceed in auto-imaging mode, the imaging operation that is performed on the computer is

determined by policies and settings that you define in NDS.

In order to make an image available to such operations, you must expose it as a Workstation Image

object in NDS. Otherwise, when you define imaging policies and settings in NDS, you won’t have

any way to refer to the image. Creating a Workstation Image object also allows you to combine a

base image and one or more add-on images into a single entity that can be laid down on target

computers. You can specify a standard image file to put down, or you can create a script to further

customize your imaging operation. You can also specify that a particular variant of an image be

used. The sections that follow give instructions for performing these tasks.

Creating a Workstation Image Object

1 Create the base image that the Workstation Image object will refer to. For instructions, see

“Creating a Workstation (Base) Image” on page 209.

Although it isn’t typical, you can create a Workstation Image object that refers only to one or

more add-on images. However, if you want a base image to be laid down in the same operation

as the add-on images, you should include both types of images in the Workstation Image

object.

2 Copy the image file to a ZfD imaging server that is accessible as a server object in your NDS

tree.
