Restoring a Workstation Image

1. Either switch to another workstation of similar hardware, or swap your current workstation hard disk.

   If you switch to another machine, use a machine as close to the same hardware as the original machine you imaged. Windows 2000 Professional can adapt to hardware modifications relatively well, but still requires reboots when the hardware is significantly different.

   If you swap hard drives (often easy with laptop machines) automatic hardware detection should not be necessary after the image is restored.

2. Boot your workstation hardware with your ZENworks Imaging boot media.

3. At the Novell ZENworks Imaging v3.2 text screen's boot: prompt, type Manual.

   This screen will default to Auto if you press Enter or wait too long before typing.

4. At the bash# prompt, enter

   IMG RP 10.0.0.202 //DA-02/D:/Images/W2Kpro.zmg

   This command will tell the ZENworks Imaging Engine (IMG) to restore (R) an image from the proxy (P) at address 10.0.0.2 in the server's (DA-02) D:\IMAGES folder.

   If your workstation screen goes blank, it is a screen saver function of the Linux kernel. Press any key to turn on the screen again.

5. After the Imaging job completes, you will return to the bash# prompt. Eject the CD or floppy disk > type reboot > press Enter.

   After your machine reboots, perform a Login to Local Workstation Only as Administrator. Hardware detection may need to complete and prompt for a reboot.

6. On your newly restored workstation, log in to your DA_Tree eDirectory tree as .Admin.DA.

   A successful login confirms your workstation image's success.
