The Device Scanner application provides a graphical user interface that enables you to scan, view, modify, and save device data.
We recommend the following approach to installing the Device Scanner:
Install the Device Scanner application on your computer and the computers of any administrators who are responsible for collecting device data and preparing it for import into Management Console security policies. These are the individuals who need access to the data editing features available in the application.
Use the administrators’ computers to scan USB devices by using either the Device Scanner application or the Device Scanner CLI. For example, connect one set of USB devices, scan them, then connect another set.
If you don’t have access to all of the USB devices that need to be scanned, distribute the Device Scanner CLI to users and have them use it to scan the devices (see Section 2.4, Distributing the Device Scanner CLI).
You must use the Device Scanner installation program (ZESMDeviceScannerUtilitySetup.exe) to install the Device Scanner application to each computer where you want to run the application. You cannot install the Device Scanner application to one computer and then copy it to another; the application does not run if you do so.
To install the Device Scanner application:
Distribute the installation program (ZESMDeviceScannerUtilitySetup.exe) to the target computer.
Double-click ZESMDeviceScannerUtilitySetup.exe to launch the installation program.
Select the language version to install.
Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
The Device Scanner executable (ZESScan.exe) and support files are installed to the following directory:
c:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\ZES Device Scanner
A Device Scanner shortcut is added to the menu in the following location:
