I Need to Clear the Image-Safe Data from a Workstation

Explanation:  You might need to do this for any number of reasons, such as if the image-safe area gets corrupted or populated with the wrong data (from an NDS policy, for example), or if you register the workstation as a different object in NDS.

Action:  To clear the image-safe data, you need to enter a certain key in the Windows registry and reboot the workstation. Here's one way to do this:

  1. Use a text editor to create a file with the following contents:

    REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\ZENworks]"ZISWIN Clear"="1"
    2.

  2. Save the file.

    3.

  3. Run the file you just created by double-clicking it.

    This enters the above key in the Windows registry.

    4.

  4. Reboot the workstation.

    This causes the ZfD imaging agent to run, and in so doing to clear out the workstation's image-safe data.
