PXE Menu Availability

Read the PXE Menu from This File Instead of Using the Default Menu
The default PXE menu contains the following options: Start ZENworks in Maintenance Mode, Disable the Imaging Partition, Enable the Imaging Partition, and Start Imaging in Automatic Mode. If you do not want to use this menu, you can create a custom menu using the Menu Editor. On a Windows machine that has PXE installed on it, click the Start button > Programs > PXE > DI-NIC Menu Editor to locate the Menu Editor and Menu Editor User Guide.
