A device is automatically registered when the ZENworks Adaptive Agent is installed. You should only need to manually register a device in the following situations:
The device was unregistered.
The device’s object was deleted from the ZENworks database. The Adaptive Agent is still installed on the device and you now want to register the device again.
You want to reregister an already registered device with an additional registration key.
Manual registration of a device must be done at the device using the ZENworks Adaptive Agent command line utility (zac).
The following sections provide instructions:
At the device, open a command prompt.
Enter the following command:
zac reg [-k key] [-u ZENworks Administrator username -p ZENworks Administrator password] [server_url:port]
For example:
zac reg -k acct -u zadmin -p novell https://zserver.novell.com
The -k, -u, and -p parameters are optional. If you don’t use the -u and -p parameters, you are prompted to enter a username and password. For the server_url:port parameter, you can also use an IP address; the port is required only if the ZENworks Server is not using the default port (80 or 443).
At the device, open a command prompt.
Enter the following command:
zac add-reg-key registration_key
For example:
zac add-reg-key acct
Registration keys are additive. If you register with more than one key, the device receives all group memberships associated with each registration key.
