This tip describes setting up a Windows XP box to be used as an imaging server using Novell ZENworks' Imaging solution on a stand-alone Network. The XP box will host a DHCP server and a shared folder. Other clients will boot via PXE, the ZENworks SUSE Linux imaging OS, to create or restore images on the mounted shared folder.

Using ZENworks PXE for you systems? Stop meddlers from getting into maintenance mode with a password!

This article describes our imaging method, from creating the base/universal image to adding driver images and machine specific changes, then creating imaging scripts that will figure out which piece of hardware the image is being restored to and apply the correct imaging files.

sgreenmyer explains how to take an openSUSE Live boot CD and add the imaging commands and libraries to it.

Tommy Mikkelsen lays out a nifty idea that should save you some time and grief.
