30.3 Setting the Device Refresh Schedule
At device startup, the ZENworks Adaptive Agent on a device contacts a ZENworks Server to refresh
its information. If information changes after startup, the Adaptive Agent must refresh its information
again before the changes can show up on the device.
If the refreshed information indicates that there is new content to be downloaded, the Adaptive
Agent contacts its content server and begins the download process.
You can use the device refresh schedule to determine how often a device contacts a ZENworks
Server to update bundle, policy, configuration, and registration information. Schedules can be
defined at the following levels:
Management Zone:
The schedule is inherited by all devices.
Device Folder:
The schedule is inherited by all devices within the folder and its subfolders. It
overrides the Management Zone schedule.
Device:
The schedule applies only to the device for which it is defined. It overrides any
schedules set at the Management Zone and folder levels.
