The Management Zone configuration settings enable you to control a wide range of functionality behavior for you zone. There are Device Management settings that let you control how often devices access a ZENworks Server for refreshed information, how often dynamic groups are refreshed, and what levels of messages (informational, warning, or error) are logged by the ZENworks Adaptive Agent. There are Event and Messaging settings, Discovery and Deployment settings, and much more.
Management Zone settings that apply to devices are inherited by all devices in the zone. As discussed in Section 3.1, Organizing Devices: Folders and Groups, you can override zone settings by configuring them on device folders or on individual devices. This allows you to establish zone settings that apply to the largest number of devices and then, as necessary, override the settings on folders and devices.
By default, your zone settings are preconfigured with values that provide common functionality. You can, however, change the settings to best adapt them to the behavior you need in your environment.
