1.4 General ZENworks Enhancements

1.4.1 Mac Agent Installer

ZENworks 23.3 enables customers to deploy agents on Mac devices based on platforms. The new agent installers are introduced to deploy agents on Mac devices with Intel processors and Mac devices with ARM/Silicon/M1 processors.

For more information, see Manually Deploying the Agent on a Macintosh Device.

1.4.2 Device Summary

The Device Summary page now displays the device's last known Network Environment. This is in addition to the Network Location that was previously displayed.

For more information, see the Viewing and Updating the Managed Device Details in the ZENworks Discovery, Deployment, and Retirement Reference.

1.4.3 Antimalware Email Notification

A new Antimalware Email Notification section is added to Email Notification. The Antimalware Email Notification section enables you to configure the e-mail notifications whenever any malware threats are detected. You can define which e-mail address to use to send notifications and can also specify the recipients. The email notification is generated by the Antimalware Server during its scheduled maintenance period.

For more information, see Email Notification.

1.4.4 Modern Authentication for Provisioning Email to Mobile Devices

When provisioning email to mobile devices, ZENworks now has the option to use modern authentication for email authentication to ensure that provisioned configuration can correctly configure email on end-user devices.

If you enable Modern Authentication for the ActiveSync Server, ZENworks Server will not be functioning as a proxy server.

For more information, see Connecting to a New ActiveSync Server in the ZENworks Mobile Management Reference.

1.4.5 ZAC PDP and ZAC PAP to distribute and apply individual patch policies

Enhancements have been made to the patch-apply-policy (pap) and patch-distribute-policy (pdp) to apply and distribute one or more patch policies.

For more information, see Patch Management Commands in the ZENworks Command Line Utilities Reference.

1.4.6 Update CVE Subscription to use API

ZENworks 2020 Update 3 and earlier versions use NVD 1.0 APIs to import CVE data from NVD. Effective September 2023, NVD will discontinue all legacy data feeds and 1.0 APIs and require consuming 2.0 APIs to fetch CVE data.

The CVE Subscription API Key field has been introduced that enables faster fetching of CVE data from NVD. This key is optional. If not specified, the duration to fetch CVE data from NVD might increase but will not impact the run functionally. The key can be obtained by visiting NVD - API Key Request https://nvd.nist.gov/developers/request-an-api-key.

For more information, see Configure the CVE Subscription

1.4.7 ZENworks API Gateway service

A new ZENworks service, API Gateway, is introduced. This service will listen to requests on port 443 (or a customized port number) instead of the ZENworks Client Management service and will front-end the Client Management service. This service will be enhanced to front-end other ZENworks services in the future.

1.4.8 Advanced Search

The Mac MDM filters has been included in the Advanced Search option.
