Creating the Handheld Service Package

A policy package is an eDirectory object containing one or more individual policies. A policy package groups policies according to function, making it easier to administer them. It also provides the means for the administrator to change policy settings and to determine how they affect other eDirectory objects.

In ZENworks Handheld Management, the Handheld Service Package contains one policy: Handheld Import.

You should create an Organizational Unit (OU) to hold the policy packages. Consider the following when determining where to place this OU:

• Partitions in your tree
• The 256-character limit in eDirectory for the full distinguished name
• The Search policy that is used to locate the policy package

To minimize tree walking, it is best to create this policy package OU at the root of the partition that contains the objects with which the policy package will be associated. It also maximizes the number of characters that will be available for naming the policy.

To create the Handheld Service Package:

1. In Novell ConsoleOne^®, right-click the container where you want the container for the policy packages placed, click New, then click Organizational Unit.

   
   

2. Give the container a short name, then click OK.

3. Right-click the newly created container that will hold your policy packages, click New, then click Policy Package.

4. Select Handheld Service Package, then click Next.

   
   

5. Give the policy package a short name, then click Next.

6. Review the information in the Summary page, then click Finish.
