As a network administrator, have you ever pondered how nice your job would be if it weren't for those pesky users in your network? I'm sure many administrators and engineers have dreamed, at least now and then, about how smoothly they could have their networks running if there were no users to mess things up.
A network without users, a school without students, or a hospital without patients ...

ZCM - Import and Export of Policies and Bundles
As a Technical Sales Specialist for the ZENworks product line, I continuously test our beta software. In particular, ZENworks functionality on German desktops interests me. This includes various capabilities such as policies, applications, bundles, and images.
In the past I hadn't taken the time to automate this process. During the beta of ZENworks 11 the time had come.

After studying the manual I started in.
