6.0 Infrastructure Management Settings

The Infrastructure Management section contains the following settings:

Closest Server Default Rule: Define the rule that is used by a device to determine the closest collection, content, and configuration servers when no Closest Server rules have been defined or when none apply. This rule is simply a listing of the servers in the order you want devices to contact them. You cannot add or remove servers from the lists. For more information, see Closest Server Default Rule.

Closest Server Rules: Create rules that are used to determine which servers a ZENworks Configuration Management 10.2.x/10.3.x device contacts for the collection, content, and configuration functions, if your ZENworks Management Zone includes more than one server. For more information, see Closest Server Rules.

This page is applicable only for devices that have ZENworks Configuration Management SP2/SP3 installed. The settings are disabled when you baseline your Management Zone to ZENworks 11.

MDM Server Defines an MDM Server to allow all mobile devices to communicate with the server at all times. For more information, see Configuring MDM Servers.

HTTP Proxy Settings: Define proxy servers you want to use. A proxy server lets a device connect indirectly to a ZENworks Server through the proxy server. The device’s ZENworks Agent connects to the proxy server, then requests resources from a ZENworks Server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the ZENworks Server or by serving it from a cache. For more information, see HTTP Proxy Settings.

System Update Settings: Configure how you want to use the System Updates feature, including how often to check for updates, specifying a download schedule, configuring e-mail notifications, and more. For more information, see System Update Settings.

    • Enable or Disable the usage of precomputed assignments for managed devices.

    • Specify the interval to compute effective assignments for managed devices.

    • Select a server on which the effective assignments are computed.

      By default, any available server in the Management Zone is used to compute the effective assignment.
