Closest Server Default Rule:
Define the rule that is used by a device to determine the closest
collection, content, and configuration servers when no Closest Server rules have been defined or
when none apply. This rule is simply a listing of the servers in the order you want devices to contact
them. You cannot add or remove servers from the lists. For more information, see
Closest Server
Default Rule (../../resources/help/settings_closestserverdefaultrule.html)
.
Closest Server Rules:
Create rules that are used to determine which servers a device contacts for
the collection, content, and configuration functions, if your ZENworks Management Zone includes
more than one server. For more information, see
Closest Server Rules (../../resources/help/
settings_closestserverrules.html)
.
HTTP Proxy Settings:
Define proxy servers you want to use. A proxy server lets a device connect
indirectly to a ZENworks Server through the proxy server. The device’s ZENworks Adaptive Agent
connects to the proxy server, then requests resources from a ZENworks Server. The proxy provides
the resource either by connecting to the ZENworks Server or by serving it from a cache. For more
information, see
HTTP Proxy Settings (../../resources/help/settings_httpproxy.html)
.
System Update Settings:
Configure how you want to use the System Updates feature, including
how often to check for updates, specifying a download schedule, configuring e-mail notifications,
and more. For more information, see
System Update Settings (../../resources/help/
settings_systemupdate.html)
.
ZENworks News Settings:
Configures the server and the schedule for downloading the ZENworks
News. For more information, see
ZENworks News Settings (../../resources/help/
settings_zenworksnews.html)
.
27.7 Inventory Settings
The Inventory section contains the following settings:
Inventory:
Configure inventory scanning settings, including on-demand scans, first scans, and
recurring scans. You can also specify directories to skip when performing scans and identify
software applications that are not contained in the ZENworks Knowledgebase. For more
information, see
Inventory (../../resources/help/settings_sysinventory.html)
.
Inventory Schedule:
Specify when to run an inventory scan, including specifying that scans do not
run automatically or specifying a date-specific, recurring, or event-driven scan. For more
information, see
Inventory Schedule (../../resources/help/settings_sysinventoryschedule.html)
.
Collection Data Form:
Configure which demographic data to collect for a device or devices, such
as a user’s name or telephone, which department the user belongs to, and so on. For more
information, see
Collection Data Form (../../resources/help/
settings_sysinventorycollectwizard.html)
.
Collection Data Form Schedule:
Configure how you send out the Collection Data Form. You can
schedule it as part of a regular inventory scan, you can use a Device Quick Task, or you can use the
Collection Data Form Schedule. For more information, see
Collection Data Form Schedule (../../
resources/help/settings_sysinventorywizardschedule.html)
.
Inventory Only:
Configure inventory scan settings for devices in the zone that don’t have the
ZENworks Adaptive Agent installed but do have the Inventory Module installed. This type of scan
is useful for devices running Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, NetWare, and
Mac OS* X. For more information, see
Inventory Only (../../resources/help/settings_sysumi.html)
