Select Package

Use this page to select the type of ZENworks® 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 Novell® eDirectoryTM containers. Currently, a Container Package includes only the Search policy, which is used by both ZENworks for Servers (ZfS) and ZENworks for Desktops (ZfD).

The Search policy sets the searching process that ZfD follows in enforcing policies.

Because most policies in ZfS 3 are distributed rather than associated for enforcement and a Distributor does not receive Distributions, the Search policy is used in ZfS to enable the Distributor Agent to locate and use policies in the Service Location Package. For example, the Distributor Agent uses the package's ZENworks Database policy to write reporting information to the database file.

This policy contains the policy refresh frequency, search level, and search order settings.

Server Package
A Server Package includes polices that relate to NetWare® and Windows* servers.

ZfS 3 does not use the Server Package. All ZfS policies that would normally be listed here are listed under the Distributed Server Package heading.

A Server Package contains the following policies for ZfD:

Distributed Server Package
A Distributed Server Package includes polices that relate to NetWare, Windows NT*, Windows 2000, Solaris*, or Linux* servers. A Distributed Server Package contains the following policies:

Service Location Package
A Service Location Package includes polices that relate to services. A Service Location Package contains the following policies:
