4.2 Applying Policies

Policies let you control the behavior of devices. There are nine types of policies you can create:
Browser Bookmarks Policy: Configures Internet Explorer favorites for Windows devices and
users.
Dynamic Local User Policy: Configures users created on Windows NT*, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP workstations, and Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Terminal Servers after the
users have successfully authenticated to Novell
Local File Rights Policy: Configures rights for files or folders that exist on the NTFS file
systems.
The policy can be used to configure basic and advanced permissions for both local and domain
users and groups. It provides the ability for an administrator to create custom groups on
managed devices.
Printer Policy: Configures Local, SMB, HTTP, and iPrint printers for a Windows devices and
users.
Remote Management Policy: Configures the behavior or execution of a Remote Management
session on a managed device. The policy includes properties such as Remote Management
operations, security, and so forth. A Remote Management policy can be assigned to users as
well as managed devices.
Roaming Profile Policy: Allows the user to configure the path where his or her user profile
should be stored.
A user profile contains information about a user's desktop settings and personal preferences,
which are retained from session to session.
Any user profile that is stored in a network path is known as a roaming profile. Every time the
user logs on to a machine, his or her profile is loaded from the network path. This helps the user
to move from machine to machine and still retain consistent personal settings.
SNMP Policy: Configures SNMP parameters on the managed devices.
Windows Group Policy: Configures Group Policy for Windows devices and users.
ZENworks Explorer Configuration Policy: Allows you to administer and centrally manage
the behavior and features of ZENworks Explorer.
To create a policy, you use the Create New Policy Wizard. In addition to helping you create the
policy, the wizard also lets you assign it to devices and users and decide whether to enforce the
policy immediately or wait until the device refreshes its information.
