In combination with dynamic groups that are based on departments, it is possible to manage device
registration very easily. You use these keys in your deployment packages to auto-register all devices
in your Management Zone.
Registration
You should enable dynamic device renaming, which is disabled by default.
This feature provides a very flexible way to handle some desktop management processes such as
renaming or re-installation. During the ZENworks Configuration Management framework-based
installation process, the device name changes to a randomly generated name, but if this feature is
place and you have a working imaging partition, all references are automatically maintained by the
ZENworks Adaptive Agent registration process.
This prevents having duplicated device entries and GUIDs in the database.
