Imaging enables the operating system of a computer to be installed fully automatically via the network. All that is required is for the computer to be connected to the network via cable and for a so-called PXE boot process—the network-based loading process of a rudimentary boot kernel—to be set in the BIOS.

Due to the drivers implemented and the hardware detection implemented in the imaging, the hardware that can be used is limited to the following devices.

In the pool rooms, the computers are installed with software distribution, i.e., the ZENworks Software menu. The computers are automatically added to the domain and assigned to the appropriate groups in Active Directory.

Images are available in the network system for installing a workstation computer, which also install the software distribution. It is essential to select the correct (image) project, otherwise the system will be imported incorrectly and malfunctions will occur! It is generally recommended to delete the HDDs via the BIOS before imaging, update the firmware, and configure the BIOS settings for each specific device. It is also possible to image PC systems or notebooks that are not to be imported into the PC network system; separate projects (OS images) are available for this purpose.
