Edit a location |
|
For an Unknown location, you can edit only the throttle rate (in the Details tab) and the Location Closest Servers settings (in the Servers tab). If you choose to exclude the Closest Server default rule and do not configure Configuration and Authentication servers for a location, then the location is considered as a disconnected location. During the next general refresh of the managed device, the location is displayed as Unknown in the ZENworks icon properties page. |
Delete a location |
|
You cannot delete the Unknown location. You cannot delete a location that has ZENworks objects associated. To delete a location that has ZENworks objects associated, you must first remove the association and then delete the location. |
Rename a location |
|
The name must conform to the ZENworks object naming conventions. You cannot rename the Unknown location. Fpr information about the naming conventions, see IMPORTANT:If the location is referenced by a Location Assignment policy (one of the security policies used with Endpoint Security Management), the Location Assignment policy must be republished before the name change will be reflected on assigned devices. For information about republishing a security policy, see |

The order of the list determines which location is used if the agent matches multiple locations. For more information on how the location and the network environment are selected on a managed device, see Section 5.4, Location and Network Environment Selection on a Managed Device When you add a new location, the Unknown location is listed last, and its order cannot be changed. |
