To create a File bundle:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Bundles tab.
2 In the Bundle list, click New > Bundle to display the Create New Bundle Wizard.
3 Select File bundle , then click Next .
4 Follow the prompts to create the File bundle and assign it to devices. For information about
what you need to supply at each step of the wizard, click the icon.
When assigning the bundle to devices, you can lessen your management overhead by assigning
the bundle to groups of devices rather than to individual devices. For more information about
device groups, see
Section 1.1, “Organizing Devices: Folders and Groups,” on page 23 .
For more detailed information about using bundles and bundle groups to deliver software to devices,
see
Chapter 20, “Using RPM and File Bundles,” on page 211 .
1.6 Defining and Locking Down Device
Configuration Settings
Through the use of policies, you can control and lock down the configuration settings for the
following applications:
Š Epiphany Web browser
Š
Evolution
TM
e-mail client
Š Mozilla Firefox Web browser
Š
GNOME*
Š Novell Linux Desktop

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop
Additionally, you can create policies that run applications on a device, or perform modifications to a
text-based configuration file using regular expressions.
You can apply individual policies to devices. You can also add policies to policy groups and apply
the policy groups to devices.
Some policies are singular, meaning that only one instance of the policy can apply to the device.
Other policies are plural, meaning that multiple instances can apply. Because a device inherits policy
assignments from any groups or folders in which it is a member, conflicting assignments can occur.
In this case, ZENworks determines the effective policies by first applying any device-assigned
policies, then any group-assigned policies, and then any folder-assigned policies.
You can define the schedule for policies. The schedule determines when a policy is applied to a
device.
To create a policy:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.
2 In the Policies list, click New > Policy to display the Create New Policy Wizard.
