Use this property page to enable or disable the policies that will be applied to any server with which you associate the Server Package. After you've enabled a policy, you can modify it to meet the needs of the servers to which you are applying it.
These policies will be applied regardless of the server's platform (NetWare®, Windows* NT*, Windows 2000, Solaris*, or Linux*). To manage policies that will apply to a specific server platform, use the applicable platform page.
Server Policies
Lists the available policies.
Enabled
This column indicates if the policy is enabled or disabled. To enable or disable the policy, select or deselect the check box.Policy
This column displays the name of the policy.If you have ZENworks® for Servers (ZfS) 2 installed, the following policies are available:
- Server Down Process: Controls the processes to follow when downing a server.
- ZENworks for Servers: Configures basic parameters for ZfS, such as status logging, defining the server console prompt for ZFS.NCF, setting its working path, and setting a database purging limit. This policy can be enabled on each server where you want to enforce Server policies. If you do not enable the policy, ZfS will work from preprogrammed defaults. However, we recommend that you enable this policy because you can specify how information is purged from the database. The database file grows with every ZfS success or failure logged. This control will prevent the database file from becoming excessively large.
If you have ZENworks for Desktops (ZfD) installed, the following policies are available:
- Imaging Server: Determines rules for imaging workstations.
- Workstation Import: Enables automatic creation of Workstation objects as users log into the network.
- Workstation Removal: Enables automatic removal of unused Workstation objects.
- zeninvRollUp: Determines how scan information is rolled up to the next higher level server.
