become familiar with general ZENworks administration concepts and tasks. “
Understanding
ZENworks Linux Management ” in the Novell ZENworks 7.27.3 Linux Management Administration
Guide introduces these concepts and tasks while helping you understand the ZENworks approach to
successfully managing workstations and servers.
In particular, the tutorial explains how you can use folders and groups to minimize your
management overhead and why you should create folders and groups before you register the devices
in your system. It also provides brief instructions for delivering software packages, creating policies,
collecting inventory, performing tasks prior to a device booting to its operating system, and
monitoring events that occur within the system.
