Similarly, to change the role to any other server, follow the actions to make the new role change effective.Plan the change of roles carefully because these changes will impact the existing inventory deployment.

Start Full Scan
This option is available only if ZENworks® for Desktops 4 Workstation Inventory is installed.Click this option to do a full scan of the inventoried workstation.
When scanning the inventoried workstation for the first time, the scanner collects the complete inventory of the inventoried workstation, referred to as a full scan. The next time, the scanner compares the current inventory data to the history data that it maintains. If there are any changes to the inventoried workstation, the scanner reports the delta scan data, which contains only the changes in inventory since the last scan was reported. The delta scan setting is the default scan operation for each successive scan after the first scanning of the inventoried workstation.
