1.1 Bundles

Software is distributed through the use of bundles. A bundle consists of all the files, configuration settings, installation instructions, and so forth required to deploy and manage the application or files on a device. There are four types of bundles you can create:

The software included with a bundle is uploaded to the ZENworks Server repository. This enables the ZENworks Server and ZENworks Adaptive Agent to distribute the software without requiring access to any other network locations.

To create a software bundle, you use the Create New Bundle Wizard in ZENworks Control Center or by using the zman command line utility. For more information on Creating Bundle using ZENworks Control Center, see Section 2.0, Creating Bundles and for Creating Bundle using zman command line utility, see ZENworks Command Line Utilities in the ZENworks 10 Configuration Management Command Line Utilities Reference.

The sections in this guide provide conceptual and task-based information to help you effectively manage software distribution in your ZENworks system. You can also use the online Help system for information about creating bundles.
