The Distributor object also needs to be associated with the Service Location Package. This package contains the ZENworks Database policy so that the Distributor Agent can locate the database file for writing report information.

To associate a policy package to the Distributor object's container:

Browse to select the policy package > click OK.
If you click Cancel, the association you made will not be saved.
Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for additional policy packages to be associated with the Distributor object's container.
