A.2 Creating a New DHCP Option

You need to create and enable a new predefined DHCP Option 100 named “ZENworks” at each DHCP server you will be using in the network environment. The DHCP server sends this option with a configured string value you supply (the local Middle Tier Server address or DNS name) to the agent each time a workstation running in the subnet boots and requests an IP address.

NOTE:When you create the new DHCP option (on either NetWare®, Windows, or SLES 9 SP1/OES Linux servers), make sure that you set the Data value as string. For more information, see TID 10092121 in the Novell Knowledgebase.
