After you complete the setup of your ZENworks Servers and a few managed devices, you should become familiar with general ZENworks administration concepts and tasks. Understanding ZENworks Linux Management in the Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management Administration Guide introduces these concepts and tasks while helping you understand the ZENworks approach to successfully managing workstations and servers.

In particular, the tutorial explains how you can use folders and groups to minimize your management overhead and why you should create folders and groups before you register the devices in your system. It also provides brief instructions for delivering software packages, creating policies, collecting inventory, performing tasks prior to a device booting to its operating system, and monitoring events that occur within the system.
