Management Zone Configuration
Settings
The Management Zone configuration settings enable you to control a wide range of functionality for
your Zone. There are Content settings that let you control when content can be distributed to devices
and how often content is replicated between ZENworks
®
Servers (if you have multiple servers).
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
Inventory settings, Discovery and Deployment settings, and much more.
The configuration settings are grouped into categories:

27.1 Accessing Configuration Settings
Management Zone settings that apply to devices are inherited by all devices in the zone. 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.
