After booting a device from an imaging boot media, you can enter zisedit at the imaging maintenance mode prompt to change, clear, or remove information the image-safe data for that device.
To use zisedit, enter any of the following commands at the prompt:

zisedit |
Displays a screen showing all of the image-safe data fields. You can add or change any of the information in the fields. |
zisedit field=new_information |
You can change the information for one field using this syntax, where field is any valid field name and new_information is the information you want this field to contain. field is not case sensitive. For example, enter zisedit Mask=255.255.252.0 to enter this information in the field. All of the following are valid field names (the corresponding minimum names that can also be entered on the command line are shown in parenthesis after each field name):
|
zisedit -c |
Clears all image-safe data fields. |
zisedit -r |
Removes the image-safe data store. The image based on the hardware rule is restored only when you delete both the ISD of a registered device and the device object associated with the registered device in ZENworks Control Center. If you want to perform the imaging operations on the device after you delete its ISD only, you must assign the work for the device by using the device object or Rule-Based Imaging. If a registered device has a device object based on MAC address or Serial number in the database, the device continues to be a registered device when you reboot it after you delete its ISD, Device GUID, and Device data files. The device still gets the imaging work assigned to the device object. |
zisedit -h |
Displays help for zisedit. |
