If an External Subscriber server is not set up as a Subscriber object in any eDirectory tree, you can place a TEDNODE.PROPERTIES file on that server so that it can perform Subscriber functions. The TEDNODE.PROPERTIES file must be placed in the ZENWORKS\PDS\TED directory on the server.
A sample of the TEDNODE.PROPERTIES file is located at the root of the ZENworks for Servers Companion CD.
Following is the required format of the file, including comments on some of the entries. Note that the information on the right side of an = symbol is only an example and not the required value for that line. However, the examples are intended to show the correct syntax for the values.

For the remaining TEDNODE.PROPERTIES file entries, remove the # symbol from a line to enable it. This will make that line effective for the schedule type if is listed under. However, do not remove the # symbol from the first line for a schedule type because it is only a description that indicates the schedule type. You can change the default values that are listed.
Note that the following sample has the Daily schedule enabled because the appropriate # symbols have been removed.
