Is your organization moving from Novell Imaging to using ONLY Altiris DS? Did your organization use Image safe data during imaging? Are you still going to have Novell Client / Agent in in POST Altiris world? If you answer yes to all of these questions you will need to have a way to remove the image safe data. In the Novell world you would simply add a line to your linux script to call zisedit -c or zisedit -r and this would clean out the image safe data. But since you are now imaging with DS, this cannot be done directly in Altiris.
So after some Google searching I have found a very simple tool called ZisdCtrl from a company named Expert Networking Group Limited http://www.engl.co.uk With this tool and a simple script you can do the following:
You also verify before and after removing the image safe data has been removed by running zisdctrl-get.vbs from the examples folder.
Example VBS to remove ZENWORKS image safe data:
