In order to manage the handheld devices, you must do the following:
The following sections provide information you need for setting up an Import policy:
After the handheld objects are imported into the directory, you can begin using policy-based management, distributing software applications to individual handheld devices or to groups of handheld devices, collecting hardware and software inventory for all enterprise handheld devices, and more.
A policy package is an eDirectory object containing one or more individual policies. A policy package groups policies according to function, making it easier to administer them. It also provides the means for the administrator to change policy settings and to determine how they affect other eDirectory objects.
In ZENworks Handheld Management, the Handheld Service Package contains one policy: Handheld Import.
You should create an Organizational Unit (OU) to hold the policy packages. Consider the following when determining where to place this OU:
To minimize tree walking, it is best to create this policy package OU at the root of the partition that contains the objects with which the policy package will be associated. It also maximizes the number of characters that will be available for naming the policy.
To create the Handheld Service Package:
In ConsoleOne, right-click the container where you want the container for the policy packages placed, click New, then click Organizational Unit.
Give the container a short name, then click OK.
Right-click the newly created container that will hold your policy packages, click New, then click Policy Package.
Select Handheld Service Package, then click Next.
Give the policy package a short name, then click Next.
Review the information in the Summary page, then click Finish.
In ConsoleOne, right-click the Handheld Service Package object that is created during Creating the Handheld Service Package, then click Properties.
Select the check box under the Enabled column for the Handheld Import policy.
This both selects and enables the policy with the default settings.
You can modify the settings of the Import policy. For more information, see "Setting Up Handheld Import" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Handheld Management Administration Guide.
Click the Associations tab, then click Add.
To associate the package, browse for the ZENworks Handheld Management Service object, the container containing the Service object, or the container object created during the installation of ZENworks Handheld Management server components.
Click OK.
