Desktop DNA templates can be thought of as policies defining the collection of settings and data from legacy workstations. Step-by-step instructions to create a template are provided in Using the DNA Template Editor to Create the Template.
You create DNA templates on the staging workstation and then store them in a network location that is accessible to users. You can store the templates on the DNA server or on another NetWare®, Linux, or Windows server.
To create the template store on a NetWare, Windows, or Linux server:
Create a \ddna directory.
This directory will hold the ZENworks Personality executable file, DNA templates, and workstation DNA personality files. You should not use the \sys: volume to house the \ddna directory.
Copy the contents of the \ddnarun directory from the ZENworks Personality Migration CD into the \ddna directory on your server.
Create a \ddna\templates directory to be used as the storage location for Desktop DNA templates.
Provide users with appropriate rights to this directory:
For NetWare, provide Read and File Scan rights to users and Write, Read, and File Scan rights to OS and migration administrators.
For Windows, share the \ddna directory as DDNA and provide basic Read rights to users and Full Control rights for OS and migration administrators.
For Linux, create a Samba share to \ddna and provide Read and Write rights to OS and migration administrators and full control and ownership rights on the file system.
