Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 5 Zim

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 6 Zim What is Zim?  Zim is a front end to the ZENworks imaging environment  Zim is designed to simplify, secure and automate ZENworks imaging tasks.  Using Zim, imaging tasks can be delivered based on user credentials from the corporate LDAP directory.  These tasks can automate complex naming, partition and imaging tasks whilst the user is presented with a simple set of menu options.

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 7 Zim zim.cfg The zim.cfg file that is created by the Imaging Toolkit 6 Build Console / Integration Wizard and will cover most basic customer requirements: Multiple projects Different OS’s Same OS – different build configurations Computer naming prompt Restore appropriate image files Restore appropriate driver image based on OS and Hardware filters

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 8 Zim zim.cfg The zim.cfg file is a script file. It can be customised to meet the requirements of individual customers. The functions used to develop and extend the zim.cfg file can be found on the ENGL website:

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 9 Scenario Capture img error codes to zim.log file

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 10 Scenario Capture img error codes to zim.log file Zim will record img error codes to the zim.log file (if it is configured) however an error code does not always help if it is unclear what the error code number means. With ZCM 10.3.x and newer it is possible to review the imglogr file in the imaging environment to identify what img believes the issue is. Each time img is launched the imglogr file gets overwritten.

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 11 Scenario Capture img error codes to zim.log file To record this information configure Zim to append to the zim.log file. To do this update the zim.cfg file with the following: File:Run,"cat imglogr >> /zimbin/zim.log",verbose after each img command you want to capture the error information on.

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 14 Scenario Changing image restore locations

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 15 Scenario Changing image restore locations When restoring projects all image files are expected to be found in the../content-repo/images/ folder structure. This is very easy to manage however if there is more than one project with the same OS there can be a lot of duplicated files within the project structures.

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 16 Scenario Changing image restore locations It is possible to modify the image restore folder structure so OS specific files are separate from project files and update Zim so that it knows where to restore files from.

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 20 Scenario Password protect dynamic Zim restore menu When configuring a standard menu item within Zim it is possible to specify a simple password to protect this menu item. It is not possible to specify a simple password with the dynamic menu items that are created based on the projects.ini file. It is possible to modify the zim.cfg file to prompt for the appropriate password once the dynamic menu item has been selected. The password is stored in an additional field in the projects.ini file

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 35 Scenario How to use VMware snapshots with Zim

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 36 Scenario How to use VMware snapshots with Zim When testing in a VMware environment it is more efficient to revert to a snapshot of a base image than restore the entire image from the ZENworks imaging server. Zim can be configured to bypass restoration of the base image if the client machine is running within a virtual machine.

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 42 Scenario Selecting owner of machine from AD using search filters

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 43 Scenario Selecting owner of machine from AD using search filters It is sometimes useful to identify the owner of a machine at imaging in order to fully customise the machine for that user account. The easiest way to do this is to configure an LDAP query in a Zim form. This will present the user with a list of user accounts, one of which can be selected and the appropriate information stored to ZISD

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 46 Scenario Selecting owner of machine from AD using search filters

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 47 Scenario Selecting owner of machine from AD using search filters This method is very useful as a starting point to querying AD but has some limitations:  AD by default limits LDAP queries to 1000 results  Need to scroll through each item to find the appropriate username It is possible to extend the form to prompt for an attribute of the user account then use this attribute to filter the list of users:  First name  Surname

Copyright © Expert Networking Group Limited 48 Scenario Selecting owner of machine from AD using search filters By filtering the query on an attribute the number of results is normally well within the 1000 record limit for AD LDAP queries and will result in a much shorter list to scroll through to select the appropriate user.
