Policy Package Wizard - Select Package
Use this page to select the type of ZENworksTM policy package you want to create.
The Policy Packages list (left pane) displays the package types you can create.
When you select a package, the Policies list (right pane) displays the policies
that are included in the package. The packages and their polices are described
in the following sections.
Container Package
A Container package includes policies that relate to NDS containers. Currently,
a Container package includes only the Search policy, which is used by both ZENworks
for Servers (ZfS) and ZENworks for Desktops. The Search policy sets the searching
process that ZfS and ZfD follow in enforcing policies. This policy also contains
the policy refresh frequency settings.
Server Package
A Server package includes polices that relate to NetWare®, Windows*
NT*, or Windows 2000 servers. A Server package contains the following policies:
- Imaging Server (ZfD): Determines rules for imaging workstations.
- NetWare SET Parameters (ZfS): Specifies and optimizes selected
SET parameters for a server or group of servers. For the NetWare platform
only.
- Scheduled Down (ZfS): Schedules when a server should go down,
and whether it should automatically be brought back up. The policy includes
which command (RESET, RESTART, or DOWN) to use when bringing down the server.
The RESET and RESTART commands are not supported by NetWare 4.x. Use
DOWN for NetWare 4.x servers.
- Scheduled Load/Unload (ZfS): Automates the loading and unloading
order of NLMTM and Java* Class processes for the
selected servers. However, because many NLM files require user input to unload,
unloading them cannot be automated.
- Server Down Process (ZfS): Controls the processes to follow when
downing a server.
- Server Scripts (ZfS): Automates script usage on your servers.
- SNMP Community Strings (ZfS): Allows you to receive and respond
to SNMP requests.
- SNMP Trap Target Refresh (ZfS): Schedules when SNMP trap targets
are refreshed. Both this policy and the SNMP Trap Targets policy are needed
for SNMP to work.
- Text File Changes (ZfS): Automates changes to text files.
- Workstation Import (ZfD): Enables automatic creation of Workstation
objects as users log into the network.
- Workstation Removal (ZfD): Enables automatic removal of unused
Workstation objects.
- zeninvRollUp (ZfD): Determines how scan information is rolled
up to the next higher level server.
- ZENworks for Servers (ZfS): Configures basic parameters for ZfS,
such as status logging, defining the server console prompt for the ZfS agent,
setting its working path, and setting a database purging limit. This policy
can be enabled on each server where you want to enforce Server policies. If
you do not enable the policy, ZfS will work from preprogrammed defaults. However,
we recommend that you enable this policy because you can specify how information
is purged from the database. The database grows with every ZfS success or
failure logged. This control will prevent the database file from becoming
excessively large.
Service Location Package
A Service Location package includes polices that relate to services. A Service
Location package contains the following policies:
- SMTP Host (ZfS and ZfD): Sets the TCP/IP address of the relay
host that processes outbound Internet e-mail. This policy must be enabled
if you select the E-Mail option for notifying or logging messages in any of
the other policies.
- SNMP Trap Targets (ZfS and ZfD): Sets SNMP trap targets for
associated NDS® objects. Both this policy and the SNMP Trap
Target Refresh policy are used to manage SNMP.
- Tiered Electronic Distribution (ZfS): Provides defaults for
Tiered Electronic Distribution objects.
- ZENworks Database (ZfS and ZfD): Sets the DN for locating a
ZENworks Database object. This policy must be in effect for ZfS or ZfD to
locate a database file for logging successes and failures that are used in
creating reports. If a Database object is not identified with this location
policy, ZfS or ZfD will not use the corresponding database file to log reporting
information. Therefore, you should create this policy for each Database object
in the tree.
- ZENworks for Servers License (ZfS): Identifies the NLS object for
ZfS. Without this policy in effect, ZfS Policy and Distribution Services will
not work.
User Package
A User package includes policies that relate to users. A User package contains
the following policies:
- 95 Desktop Preferences (ZfD): Sets defaults for users' desktops.
- 95 User System Polices (ZfD): Not used in ZfD 3 or above. User system
policies are now defined through the User extensible policies. User system
policies created in ZfD versions prior to version 3 will still work; however,
you can't create new ones or edit existing ones.
- Dynamic Local User (ZfD): Configures users created on Windows NT/2000
workstations after they have authenticated to NDS.
- Help Desk (ZfD): Sets the choices viewed in the Help Desk user interface.
This policy lets you collect help requests from users in a consistent manner.
It also allows you to specify whether a help request can be sent through e-mail.
- NT Desktop Preferences (ZfD): Sets defaults for users' desktops.
- NT User System Policies (ZfD): Not used in ZfD 3 or above. User system
policies are now defined through the User extensible policies. User system
policies created in ZfD versions prior to version 3 will still work; however,
you can't create new ones or edit existing ones.
- NT User Printer (ZfD): Displays a list of the currently installed
printers. It lets you add printers to the list, remove printers from the list,
select a printer as the default, and assign a print driver to each printer.
In addition, you can identify the settings for network printers.
- Remote Control Policy (ZfD): Sets parameters for managing remote
user functions, such as whether to prompt users for permission to remotely
control their workstations.
- Scheduled Action (ZfD): Sets up schedules for specific actions. This
is a plural policy, meaning it can be added many times to the policy package.
This policy must be added using the Add button.
- User Extensible Policies (ZfD): Allows you to control any application
function that is configured in the Windows* registry. Extensible policies
are user-defined.
- Windows 2000 Group Policy (ZfD): Acts as an extension of extensible
policies for Windows 2000 and Active Directory.
- Windows Terminal Server Policy (ZfD): Sets parameters for Citrix*
and Microsoft* Terminal Server users.
Workstation Package
A Workstation package includes policies that relate to workstations. A Workstation
package contains the following policies:
- 95 Client Configuration (ZfD): Sets configuration parameters for
workstations.
- 95 Computer Printer (ZfD): Sets workstation parameters for printing.
- 95 Computer System Policies (ZfD): Not used in ZfD 3 or above. Computer
system policies are now defined through the Computer extensible policies.
Computer system policies created in ZfD versions prior to version 3 will still
work; however, you can't create new ones or edit existing ones.
- 95 RAS Configuration (ZfD): Sets dial-up networking parameters.
- Computer Extensible Policies (ZfD): Sets user-defined policies (from
.ADM files) for workstation objects.
- NT Client Configuration (ZfD): Sets configuration parameters for
workstations.
- NT Computer Printer (ZfD): Sets workstation parameters for printing.
- NT Computer System Policies (ZfD): Not used in ZfD 3 or above. Computer
system policies are now defined through the Computer extensible policies.
Computer system policies created in ZfD versions prior to version 3 will still
work; however, you can't create new ones or edit existing ones.
- NT RAS Configuration (ZfD): Sets dial-up networking parameters.
- Remote Control (ZfD): Sets parameters for managing remote user functions,
such as whether to prompt users for permission to remotely control their workstations.
- Restrict Login (ZfD): Sets parameters to restrict logging in by a
specified workstation.
- Scheduled Action (ZfD): Sets up schedules for specific actions. This
is a plural policy, meaning it can be added many times to the policy package.
This policy must be added using the Add button.
- Windows 2000 Group (ZfD): Acts as an extension of extensible policies
for Windows 2000 and Active Directory*.
- Workstation Imaging (ZfD): Sets the parameters for imaging workstations.
Because the Imaging policy is applied before the operating system starts,
you must configure this policy using the General page. Do not use the WinNT-2000
or Win95-98 pages.
- Workstation Inventory (ZfD): Sets what hardware and software inventory
data you want to view for each workstation. It also identifies an Inventory
server for each workstation in the network.
