2.7 Manually Registering a Device

A device is automatically registered when the Endpoint Agent is installed. You should only need to manually register a device in the following situations:

  • The device was unregistered.

  • The device object was deleted from the Endpoint Management database. The Endpoint Agent is still installed on the device and you now want to register the device again.

  • You want to reregister an already registered device with an additional registration key.

Manual registration of a device must be done at the device using the Endpoint Agent command line utility (zac).

The following sections provide instructions:

2.7.1 Performing an Initial Registration

  1. At the device, open a command prompt.

  2. Enter the following command:

    register (reg) [-g] [-k <key>] <Cloud Server URL>

    Examples:

    To register a device using the enrollment token and subscription name, run the following command:

    zac register -a <EnrollmentToken> -sn <subscriptionname> https://abcd.opentext.com

    If you run the command without specifying the parameters, then you will be prompted to provide enrollment token and subscription name.

    To register using a key, run the following command:

    zac register -k mykey https://abcd.opentext.com

    To generate a new device GUID and then register, run the following command:

    zac register -g https://abcd.opentext.com

2.7.2 Reregistering a Device with an Additional Registration Key

  1. At the device, open a command prompt.

  2. Enter the following command:

    zac add-reg-key registration_key

    For example:

    zac add-reg-key acct

    Registration keys are additive. If you register with more than one key, the device receives all group memberships associated with each registration key.
