10.3 Distributing Unmanaged Policies

To distribute unmanaged polices:

  1. Locate and copy the Management Console's setup.sen file to a separate folder.

    The setup.sen file is generated at installation of the Management Console, and placed in the \Program Files\Novell\ESM Management Console\ directory.

  2. Create a policy in the Management Console (for more information, see the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management Administration Guide).

  3. Use the Export command to export the policy to the same folder containing the setup.sen file. All policies distributed must be named policy.sen for the Endpoint Security Client to accept them.

  4. Distribute the policy.sen and setup.sen files. These files must be copied to the \Program Files\Novell\ZENworks Security Client\ directory for all unmanaged clients.

    The setup.sen file only needs to be copied to the unmanaged devices once, with the first policy. Afterwards, only new policies need to be distributed.

If an Unmanaged Endpoint Security Client is installed on the same machine as the Stand Alone Management Console, the setup.sen file must also be copied to the \Program Files\Novell\ZENworks Security Client\ directory. If the Unmanaged Endpoint Security Client is installed on the machine after the Stand Alone Editor, the file must be transferred manually as described above.

Clicking the Publish button immediately publishes the policy to that machine's unmanaged Endpoint Security Client. To provide policies to multiple, unmanaged users, use the Export feature as described above.
