ZENworks Server
The ZENworks

Server is the backbone of the ZENworks system. It communicates with the

be delivered to devices and images to be used for imaging devices. It communicates with other
ZENworks Servers and ZENworks Satellites to replicate or receive content, software and hardware
inventory, and messages throughout the Management Zone.
