the device connects to a ZENworks Server for the first time, the device is given a name
according to the defined naming scheme and then added to the folder and groups defined within
the key.
You can create one or more registration keys to ensure that servers and workstations are placed
in the desired folders and groups. For example, you might want to ensure that all of the Sales
department's devices are added to the
/Workstations/Sales
folder but are divided into
three different groups (SalesTeam1, SalesTeam2, SalesTeam3) depending on their team
assignments. You could create three different registration keys and configure each one to add
the Sales workstations to the
/Workstations/Sales
folder and the appropriate team
group. As long as each device uses the correct registration key, it is added to the appropriate
folder and group.

Registration Rules: If you don’t want to enter a registration key during installation, or if you
want devices to be automatically added to different folders and groups based on predefined
criteria (for example, operating system type, CPU, or IP address), you can use registration
rules.
ZENworks includes a default registration rule for servers and another one for workstations. If a
device registers without a key, the default registration rules are applied to determine the folder
and group assignments. The two default rules cause all servers to be added to the
/Servers
folder and all workstations to the
/Workstations
folder. The device hostname is used for
its name. You cannot delete these two default rules, but you can modify the naming scheme and
the folder and groups to which the servers and workstations are added.
The two default rules are designed to ensure that no server or workstation registration fails. You
can define additional rules that enable you to filter devices as they register and add them to
different folders and groups. If, as recommended in
Section 1.1.3, “Folders vs. Groups,” on
page 25 , you’ve established folders for devices with similar configuration settings and groups
for devices with similar assignments, newly registered devices automatically receive the
appropriate configuration settings and assignments.
To create registration keys or rules:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Configuration tab.
2 To create a new registration key, in the Registration Keys section, click New > Registration to
start the Create New Registration Key Wizard.
or
To create a new registration rule, in the Default Registration Rules section, click
New to start
the Create New Default Rule Wizard.
3 Follow the prompts to create the key or rule. For information about what you need to supply at
each step of the wizard, click the icon.
For more detailed information about registering devices, see Part III, “Device Registration,” on
page 95 .
1.3 Setting Up ZENworks Administrator
Accounts
During installation, a default Administrator account is created. This account provides rights to
administer all of your ZENworks system.
