Reconcile Settings

Specify how you want the to reconcile the devices with the dummy device objects during the registration of the devices in the Management Zone.

Indicate Which Device Attributes Will Be Used In Reconciliation

You can choose to reconcile the devices with the dummy device objects by using one or more of the following attributes:

  • Serial Number

  • MAC Address

  • Machine Name (hostname)

By default, Serial Number and MAC Address are selected.

For example, if you choose to reconcile a device based on its MAC Address, the device is reconciled with the dummy device object during its registration with the ZENworks server only if the device’s MAC address is identical to that of an existing dummy device object.

Enable Differentiation

Select the Enable Differentiation check box if you want to differentiate between devices with the same reconciliation attributes (Serial Number, MAC Address, and Machine Name). By default, the Enable Differentiation check box is selected.

If you do not select the Enable Differentiation check box and if you select more than one reconciliation attribute, the device is reconciled with the dummy device objects even if only one attribute matches. For example, if you have deselected the Enable Differentiation check box and have selected Serial Number and MAC address reconciliation attributes, the device is reconciled with the dummy device object if its Serial Number or MAC address is identical to that of the dummy device object.
