There a many reasons why you might need to modify your device data, including the following:
Add a name, access level, and enforcement level: ZENworks® 11 security policies require a name to be assigned to the device. You can add a name, or let the ZENworks Control Center provide a name during the import. For the USB Connectivity policy, the default format provided by the ZENworks Control Center import is USBDevice-dd-mm-yyyy hh-mm-ss-x , where x is a sequentially incremented number for each device imported during a single second. For the Storage Device Control policy, the default format provided by the ZENworks Control Center import is Storage_Device-dd-mm-yyyy hh-mm-ss-x
The access level (USB Connectivity policy) defaults to
and the enforcement level (Storage Device Control policy) defaults to . You can change the levels as needed.Genericize a device entry: When a device is added to a security policy, it serves as a filter against which detected devices are compared. The device data, or fields, make up the filter. If a detected device matches the policy’s device filter, the device is either enabled or disabled according to the policy setting.
The more generic a device filter, the more devices that can match it. For example, assume that your organization allows all SanDisk* USB 2.0 devices. Rather than scan each device, you could scan one device, modify the SanDisk only, the field to equal 8, and the field to equal 2.0, then delete all of the other fields. The result is a device filter that matches all SanDisk USB 2.0 devices.
