The Deploy and install at separate scheduled times option is not set by default. In most
situations, there is no need to deploy and install packages inside bundles at different times.
You can, depending on your needs, schedule deployment and installation at different times
to conserve network bandwidth or to perform the actions at more convenient times for
users.
The deployment schedule determines when the packages and files inside the bundle are
downloaded from the server to the assigned devices. The packages and files are not yet
installed and available for use. The installation schedule determines when the packages
and files are installed on assigned devices so the packages will be available for use.
Š Deploy and install immediately (when this wizard completes): Select this option to
specify that the packages inside the bundle group deploy and install immediately when the
Create New Group Wizard completes, providing that the assigned devices are online. The
packages inside the bundle group deploy to and install on devices that are not online when
they refresh.

on the Summary page.

20.9 Adding Bundles to Existing Groups
Using bundle groups eases administration efforts by letting you group several bundles so you can
use common assignments, schedules, and so forth, rather than configuring these settings for each
bundle you create.
You can use the ZENworks Control Center or the zlman command line utility to add bundles to
existing groups. The following procedure explains how to perform this task using the ZENworks
Control Center. If you prefer the zlman command line utility, see the Bundle Commands section of
zlman (1) (page 547) .
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Bundles tab, select the desired bundle in the Bundles
list by clicking the box next to its name, click Action , then click Add to Group to display the
Targets page.

Click Add to open the Select Groups dialog box, click the desired groups to add them to the
Selected list, then click OK to display the selected groups in the list on the Targets page.
