Use Auto mode to image the workstation automatically, based on any applicable eDirectoryTM policies and settings. The imaging engine runs in this mode if you let the imaging bootup process proceed without interruption, or if you type the command below at the Linux prompt.
To use the Auto mode:
Enter the following:
img auto
or
Enter img to display the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu, click Imaging, then click Query For Work.
In this mode, the imaging engine queries the Imaging server specified in the PROXYADDR environment variable for any work to do. The imaging server checks the relevant eDirectory policies and settings to determine what imaging tasks should be performed (if any), such as taking or putting down an image. It then instructs the imaging engine to perform those tasks. If any tasks involve storing or retrieving images on other Imaging servers, the Imaging server refers the imaging engine to those servers to complete those tasks. After the imaging engine has completed its work, it communicates the results to the original imaging server, and the results are logged on that server.
For information on configuring the eDirectory policies and settings that control what happens in this mode, see Setting Up Imaging Policies.
