Setting Up Handheld Import

Novell^® ZENworks^® 7 Handheld Management provides simplified, hands-off management of enterprise handheld devices.

For more information about installing ZENworks Handheld Management, see the Novell ZENworks 7 Handheld Management Installation Guide.

In order to manage the handheld devices, you must do the following:

• Import handheld devices into Novell eDirectory^TM.

  The following sections provide information you need for setting up an Import policy:

  • Creating the Handheld Service Package
  • Configuring the Handheld Import Policy
  • Associating the Handheld Service Package
• Ensure that the users synchronize their handheld devices using their normal synchronization process (Microsoft* ActiveSync, Palm* HotSync, and so forth).

  After the handheld objects are imported into the directory, you can begin using policy-based management, distributing software applications to individual handheld devices or to groups of handheld devices, collecting hardware and software inventory for all enterprise handheld devices, and more.

• Set up the policies that can be associated with handheld objects. For more information, see Using ZENworks Handheld Management Policies.
