The Policy of my organization is :
Not allowing DHCP & Not Allowing Linux Partition on the PC.

How can I distribute windows XP IMAGE to the Pc's, with the ZEN-4 Image Server?
 
On your Zen server go to \\SERVER\SYS\PUBLIC\Zenworks\Imaging
In there is a Bootcd.iso file. Write this to CD, it creates a Zenworks boot CD. Then when you want to image a workstation, boot it from the CD and away you go. At the very worst if it doesn't work automatically this way you can always go into manual mode and use the commands eg img rp [zen ip address] \\server\path\image.zmg

Also you can create boot diskettes using the util:
\\SERVER\SYS\PUBLIC\Zenworks\Imaging\zimgboot.exe

Both these methods Boot from the disk into a Linux Kernel, but to don't install a Linux partition on the PC itself.
(At least not by default, I think you can play around with the settings to suit your needs)
