64.2 Auto Mode (img auto)

Use Auto mode to image the workstation automatically, based on any applicable Novell® eDirectory™ policies and settings. The ZENworks Imaging Engine runs in this mode if you let the imaging boot process proceed without interruption, or if you enter the command listed below at the Linux prompt.

To use the Auto mode, do any of the following at the bash prompt:

Enter:
```
img auto
```
To display the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu, enter:
```
img
```
and on the menu bar, click Imaging, then click Query for work.
To display the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu, enter:
```
img
```
then click F9 Query for work on the taskbar.
To display the ZENworks Imaging Engine menu, enter:
```
img
```
then press F9.

In this mode, the ZENworks Imaging Engine queries the ZENworks Imaging server specified in the PROXYADDR environment variable for any work to do. The ZENworks 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 ZENworks Imaging Engine to perform those tasks. If any tasks involve storing or retrieving images on other ZENworks Imaging servers, the ZENworks Imaging server refers the ZENworks Imaging Engine to those servers to complete those tasks. After the ZENworks Imaging Engine has completed its work, it communicates the results to the original ZENworks 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 Section 58.0, Setting Up Imaging Policies.
