18.0 Workstation Scheduler

The Novell® ZENworks® 7 Desktop Management Scheduler allows you to set up different actions to run on a workstation. You can run actions on a workstation using policies or manually using the Scheduler. In previous versions of ZENworks for Desktops, the Scheduler was available on the Windows taskbar. Because many system administrators do not want users to be able to access the Scheduler, it is no longer displayed in the taskbar. The Scheduler (wmsched.exe), however, is installed as part of the Workstation Client installation.

This section contains the following topics to help you understand and use the workstation Scheduler manually; for further information on how to manage the workstation scheduler using policies, see Section 15.6, Scheduled Action Policy (User and Workstation Packages):

NOTE:The information in this section also applies to ZENworks 7 Desktop Management with Support Pack 1.
