Select the subnet you want to configure
Select Next to go to the next page
Select 'Enable' under 'Boot Parameter Options:'
Fill in Server Address, Server Name, and Boot File Name

Or,
Using the 'DNS/DHCP Management Console':

4. Shutdown and restart DHCP
In our environment the AUTOEXEC.NCF file called the ZfDStart.ncf that in turn called pxeStart.ncf. You should be able to comment out the call to pxeStart.ncf. It starts tftp.nlm, pdhcp.nlm, and dts.nlm. If you are not using ZENworks preboot services or ZENworks imaging services you should not need these nlms anymore. There may be more ZENworks related services that you can shut down, but that depends on your configuration and how you use it.
