ZENworks Adaptive Agent
The ZENworks
®
Adaptive Agent is part of the Novell
®
ZENworks 10 Configuration Management
software that lets you manage devices over the network. The ZENworks Adaptive Agent, commonly
referred to as the Adaptive Agent, provides services that do the following without requiring you to
visit individual devices:
Š Deliver software, patches, and system updates to devices.
Š
Manage policies that determine the behavior of devices.
Š Take inventory of device hardware and software.
Š
Access devices from a remote location to troubleshoot and fix problems with hardware and
software.
Š
Act as a Satellite to help distribute content, image devices, and collect inventory and device
messages.
Each of these services is provided through the use of modules that plug in to the Adaptive Agent.
Using ZENworks Control Center, you can configure which modules are active on devices, thus
controlling which services are available on those devices. You can also configure a variety of other
Adaptive Agent settings.
