For managed devices to download the content repository by using a CIFS share, you need to configure the following settings on every device:
For Windows:
Create the following string value in the registry on the managed device:
HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\ZCM
Specify the value name as PreferredContentRepo. Set the value of the string as \\<ip address>\\content-repo\.
For example, PreferredContentRepo = \\164.99.137.82\content-repo\.
For Linux:
In the /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/conf/xplatzmd.properties file on the managed device, set the value of the PreferredContentRepo string as smb://<ip address>>/<content-repo>/.
Content in the database is not available in the content repository
