Automatic Workstation Import

ZENworks® for Desktops (ZfD) Automatic Workstation Import provides simplified, hands-off management of users' workstations. Workstation objects provide you with a way to push software and computer settings down to the client using Novell® Application LauncherTM (NAL).

Automatic Workstation Import includes Automatic Workstation Removal. However, for your test system, you initially do not need to set up Automatic Workstation Removal. For information on Automatic Workstation Removal, see Installing Automatic Workstation Import and Removal in Deployment.
