I have an HP Tablet TC4400 that is not recieving an image correctly. I
can create an image and put the image on the computer, but when the
computer reboots after the image is put on the PC it does not boot.
The screen shows ASCII characters and never boots up. I have created
the image w/ the HP partition and without it with no luck. I am at a
lost. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried the command line
create a primary partition and restore the partition to the primary
with no luck.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Request this hotpatch from Novell:

ZDM7 SP1 Hot Patch (ZENworks 7 Desktop Management SP1 Hot Patch 2)

It contains an updated bootcd.iso that will work with the GX745

The following was posted in a previous thread:

The imaging path is located in a compiled file called IMG, which is
located inside the LINUX3.TAR file, which is inside the LINUX3.TGZ on the
Zen imaging boot CD. IMG can be opened with a hex editor, then
the /path/images/ string can be replaced with a string of your choice.
Here are the steps I used:

These files do not appear to exist in version 7.0.1.2 and instead there
appears to be a file called initrd. Extracting the contents of this file
does not reveal any reference to an img file. This may not be supported
but I sure would like to be able to modify the /path/archive.zmg from the
default. Anyone have new info on how to do this?

Thanks

Having problems with imaging our HP DC700 computers with Zen Sp1. If I use
PXE boot (2.6.5-7.244) I get a "no network device found" message. I guess
to drivers not being available.

I have tried using the 2.6.18.3 from zenimaging.info but this display a
blank screen and hangs after selecting automatic or manual from the menu.

I'm not up to speed with some of the more advance methods of creating new
Zen boot disks? Is there an easy way to add the required drivers to the
PXE files on the server or does someone have an ISO created which would do
this?

Having problems getting the zenworks imaging tool to work with our new Dell
GX320's.

Trying to make a base image. The whole process seems to work, all process
work. Discs downloaded, etc, gets to the end and says workstation has not
work to do. I check the properties of wrst object and the take an image on
next boot is checked. There are no describe -603 errors in the log. I have
pasted the log below.

Can you tell what the error is and how I can remidie it?

I have found the fix to my own problem.

To recap the symptoms:

- Under new SuSE-based materials, I found that after applying a FAT32 image,
if I mounted the volume under Linux and attempted to modify text files (e.g.
sysprep.inf), the files were suddenly case-sensitive where they never had
been before.

- Furthermore (and not previously posted here), I later found that
(apparently) anything that interacted with the file allocation table on that
volume resulted in problems. If, for example, while under Linux, I created
a new file on the FAT32 volume, when I later arrived in Windows, the file
would be interestingly corrupt. I could see it when I did a directory, but
if I tried to open the file, Windows would insist that it did not exist.
This was also true if I renamed an existing file (under Linux). The
resultant file was similarly inaccessible once I arrived in Windows. The
only way I could reliably create files on the FAT32 volume was by applying
an image (and then not renaming anything).

Converting the volume to NTFS fixed all the broken files.

The cause:

Hi

Has anyone got any idea what I need to do to with Zenworks after I
change the IP address of the Windows 2003 server that it's been
installed on. After changing the IP of the server and rebooting
Zenworks still refers to the old IP address. Currently running ZFD 6.5
SP2 Hotfix 4 on a Windows 2003 R2 server.

I've had a look around for a TID but can't seem to find anything that
is relevant to Windows servers. Are there some configuration files that
need to be changed or is there a simple web interface that I can hit
that will do the trick?

Many thanks

Craig

We run Sp2 and didnt have any problem with this model from the getgo.

Thanks for the comprehensive and highly specific reply!

What is this number supposed to govern? Is it:

- Number of seconds, total, allowed for attempting to download root?
- Number of seconds allowed in any given retry attempt?
- Something else I haven't thought of?

I ask because it doesn't appear to have any effect whatever value I put
here.

What variable governs this? I don't see anything in linuxrc.config that
appears to be setting this value.
