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:
Epiphany Web browser
Evolution
TM
e-mail client
Mozilla Firefox Web browser
GNOME*
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.
3
Follow the prompts to create the policy and assign it to devices. For information about what
you need to supply at each step of the wizard, click the icon.
