3.4 Assigning Imaging Bundles

IMPORTANT:If you are assigning a Imaging bundle that has been created on a management device inside the firewall to a device outside the firewall, port 8089 must be open both ways (PUBLIC -> PRIVATE, and PUBLIC <- PRIVATE).

You can assign a bundle from the Devices or Bundles tabs, assign devices to bundle groups, and assign bundles to non-registered devices:

3.4.1 Using the Devices Tab to Assign Bundles

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click Devices in the left pane to display the Devices panel in the Managed tab.

  2. In the Name column, click Servers or Workstations, select the check boxes of one or more servers or workstations, click Action, then select Assign Bundle.

    This starts the Assign Bundle Wizard.

  3. In the Select Objects dialog box, select the bundle to be assigned, then click OK to display the Bundles to be Assigned page:

    Assign Bundle Wizard - Bundles to be Assigned page

  4. Click Add as necessary to include the desired bundles.

  5. In the Shortcut Location section, make sure all check boxes are deselected.

    Imaging bundles do not use shortcut locations.

    Back: Allows you to make changes after reviewing the summary.

    Finish: Click to make the assignments.

    1. Select the check box next to the device to which you assigned the ZENworks Image bundle.

    2. Click Action > Apply Assigned Imaging Bundle.

When devices assigned to this Imaging bundle boot, they are imaged from the image contained in the bundle.
