Unregistering and Reregistering
Devices
Under certain circumstances, it might be necessary to unregister devices from or reregister devices
against the ZENworks
®
Server.
The following sections contain additional information:

13.1 Possible Scenarios for Unregistering and
Reregistering Devices
The following list illustrates possible scenarios in which you might want to unregister and reregister
devices:
Š
You have secondary ZENworks Servers set up by job function (engineering, marketing, and so
forth), an employee transfers to another job function, and you want to change the ZENworks
Server that the device is registered against.
Š
You move a device from one physical location to another and you want to change the device's
ZENworks Management Zone or the ZENworks Server that the device is registered against.
Š
You want to balance server load by changing the ZENworks Server that a device is registered
against.
In these three scenarios, you could unregister the device and then reregister it in another
ZENworks Management Zone or against another ZENworks Server. It is not necessary to
remove the device object from the ZENworks Control Center because the updated
Management Zone or ZENworks Server information is updated in the object's properties.
Š
You edit a registration key or registration rule to change the naming convention and folder
containment settings as explained in
Section 12.1.2, “Editing Existing Registration Keys,” on
page 105 and Section 12.2.2, “Editing Existing Registration Rules,” on page 111 and you want
all managed devices named and placed in folders according to the new settings.
In this scenario, only newly registered devices use the new settings. You can unregister devices,
remove them from the ZENworks Control Center (click the
Devices tab, navigate to and select
devices by selecting the check box next to the their names, then click Delete ), and then
reregister them to ensure that the devices are renamed and placed in the proper folders
according to the edited settings.
Š You no longer want to manage a device using ZENworks Linux Management.
When you unregister a device, the device is no longer registered against a ZENworks Server
and the device is no longer managed.
