Image Explorer (IMGEXP.EXE)


Purpose

Use this utility at a Windows workstation to view or customize workstation images or to create add-on images.


Location

This utility is located in the ZENWORKS\IMAGING folder in your ZfD installation (on the imaging server).


Format and Function

To start this utility stand-alone (from Windows), double-click the IMGEXP.EXE file. There are no command-line parameters. To start the utility from ConsoleOne, click Tools > ZENworks Utilities > Imaging > Image Explorer.

After starting the utility, you can create a new add-on image or open an existing workstation image. You can browse and view the Windows partitions, folders, and files in the open image. You can customize the image by adding or excluding individual files and folders and by adding Windows registry (.REG) files that will be applied after the image is laid down. You can associate these customizations with any of ten possible variants of the image. For information on how to perform these tasks, see the online help in the utility.

WARNING:  Do not exclude .BPB files from a base image or the workstation won't be able to boot the new operating system after receiving the image.

NOTE:  Non-Windows partitions, such as NetWare partitions, are visible when you open an image, but their contents are not.
