ZENworks provides an optimal solution for deploying Windows 10 using the ZENworks imaging engine.
The Windows 10 can be deployed using any of the following methods:
ZCM versions – To support Windows 10 in a ZCM infrastructure, you need to use at least ZENworks 11.4.1 or a later version.
NOTE:
Firmware Interface
Disk Types
Disk Partition Type
For devices with legacy BIOS - MBR partition layout and UEFI BIOS - GPT partition layout.
NOTE:
A base image is an image of partitions and data on a source device’s hard disks. Normally, such an image is prepared with the intent to completely replace the contents of a target device’s hard disks.
You can take an image of an existing device and use it to image a similar device or use it as a backup image for re-imaging the original device.
If you want to copy a Virtual machine/physical hardware machine, or during the image restoration on a new device, or if you want the restored managed device to generate its own GUID and register as a new object in ZENworks Control Center, before taking the image, do the following:
After installing ZENworks Agent on the device, ensure that the device has been rebooted at least once and run the below commands
Following are the methods in which you can deploy Windows 10 using Linux imaging distro:
The Linux imaging scripts are used for scripting actions to take place in the Linux distro on devices that support imaging operations.
ZENworks Images allows you to specify ZENworks images that should be restored on a computer.
Multicast Image Sets allow you to specify sets of imaging operations that should be distributed simultaneously to multiple machines.
Following are the methods in which you can deploy Windows 10 using WinPE distro:
The Multicast Image Sets allow you to specify sets of imaging operations that should be distributed simultaneously to multiple machines.
The third-Party Images allow you to specify the third-party images that should be restored on a computer.
The WinPE imaging scripts are used for scripting actions to take place in the WinPE environment on devices that support imaging operations.
ZENworks Images allows you to specify ZENworks images that should be restored on a computer.
Following are the methods in which you can deploy Windows 10 using MDT,
MDT Deployment
The MDT Deployment bundles allow you to deploy Windows operating system using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit.
Take image to proxy server/local network share
Where -mp stands for make proxy and <image_name> is the custom image name followed with .zmg format.
Where -ml stands for make local and <image_name> is the custom image name followed with .zmg format.
Restore image to proxy server/local network share
Where -rp stands for restore proxy and <image_name> is the custom image name followed with .zmg format.
Where -rl stands for restore local and <image_name> is the custom image name followed with .zmg format.
Primary Server
NOTE:
Satellite Server
To access WinPE distro, perform the following additional steps:
To upload a WIM
Manual imaging (GUI/Command mode)
NOTE: MRP (Microsoft Reserve Partition) type cannot be saved.
In the following menu, a custom description can be stored in the image,
Alternatively, you can take/restore the image directly from the distro using the command prompt.
Manual imaging (GUI/Command mode)
Alternatively, you can take/restore the image directly from the distro using the command prompt.
To restore the image, follow the same steps on the same device/different device where the image must be restored.
The MDT Deployment bundle supports the deployment of the Windows operating system using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).
Prerequisites for deploying Windows 10 using MDT:
Currently, only PXE Auto mode and Manual PXE mode is supported as the boot mechanism for MDT Deployment.
On PXE boot, when the device queries for imaging work, the MDT Deployment environment is booted based on the architecture of the device:
BIOS Devices
UEFI Devices
