Zim


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.


Zimzim.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


Zimzim.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:

http://www.engl.co.uk/documentation/imagingtoolkit/6.0/zim/ref.html


ScenarioCapture 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.



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.

Update the zim.cfg file so the new command is after each img command you want to capture the error information on.

Sample zim.log file


ScenarioChanging image restore locations



When restoring projects all image files are expected to be found in the ../content-repo/images/<project> 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.



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.

Move the base image files, driver images and HAL image files into the appropriate OS/<project_os> folders


ScenarioPassword 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



Update the zim.cfg file with the following information:

Set:lookup_project,%_project_item2

Label:lookup_project_info ; Validate password if set in projects.ini file Set:pw_login_count,"0" Set:pw_login_count_max,"2" File:Ini,Get,"/zimbin/projects.ini","%lookup_project%","project_password",project_password

Update the projects.ini file with the following “project_password = value”:

Note: The project_password attribute needs to be set on each project section. Zim will error if it is not available. The password does not need to be populated on each entry.

ScenarioDynamic development menu



Zim uses the projects.ini file to populate a dynamic restore menu

When testing a project it is not always appropriate for the project to be available in this restore menu

It is possible to modify the projects.ini file and the Development menu configuration in the zim.cfg file to separate test and live project restore options



Update the projects.ini file with the following information:; ; ENGL Zim projects.ini lookup file;

ScenarioHow 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.



To configure the virtual machine

•PXE boot to Zim menu

•Select Maintenance Menu

•Select Development Menu

•Select Restore an image

•Select <project> from list

•Enter base image name and restore it

•Shut down machine

•Make a VMware snapshot of machine

DemoHow to use VMware snapshots with Zim


ScenarioSelecting 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



Modify the standard zim.cfg file; Authenticate to LDAP serverLDAP:Init,"labsrv.engllab.local",389

LDAP:Bind,"cn=Administrator,CN=users,DC=engllab,DC=local","P@ssw0rd"If:Var,_error,eq,1 Dialog:Ask,"LDAP Bind Error","%_ldaperrorstr%","_any",RED LDAP:Unbind Goto:TheEndEnd:

Menu:ReturnEnd:Set:Ask_COMPUTERNAME,%_Info_item7%Set:ask_owner,%_Info_item9%Set:AutoRestart,%_Info_item11%If:Var,Ask_COMPUTERNAME,ne,"%COMPUTERNAME%"

Set:COMPUTERNAME,"%Ask_COMPUTERNAME%"End:



; Update the information in ZISDZisd:Put,NetBiosName,%COMPUTERNAME%

ZISD:Put,VendorDataENGL,"%VendorDataENGLSTRING%"Zisd:Write



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



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.



Modify the standard zim.cfg file; Read zisd:VendorDataENGLzisd:get,VendorDataENGL,VendorDataENGLSTRING

; Read stored information in from VendorDataENGLSet:zisd_project,GetKeyPairStringValue("%VendorDataENGLSTRING%", "project")Set:zisd_owner,GetKeyPairStringValue("%VendorDataENGLSTRING%", “Owner")Set:zisd_owner_firstname,GetKeyPairStringValue("%VendorDataENGLSTRING%", “Owner_firstname")Set:zisd_owner_surname,GetKeyPairStringValue("%VendorDataENGLSTRING%", “Owner_surname")

This reads in ZISD:VendorDataENGL and sets additional variables based on the info (if it exists) that is stored in the Owner key pair strings

Note: The information used to configure the LDAP filtering can be customised to filter on whichever attribute you need to use, for some scenarios the surname, sAMAccountName or Display Name may be more appropriate to use.

If you require assistance in configuring forms to meet your needs contact us and we will be happy to assist.
