Novell ZENWORKS HANDELD MANAGEMENT 7 SP1 IR4 Installation Manual page 11

Using ConsoleOne, you can create, configure, and associate policies to do the following:
Ensure that a password is set on BlackBerry, Palm OS, and Windows CE devices.
Because sensitive business information is stored on handheld devices (meeting notes, contact
lists, and so forth), your organization might have guidelines that all handheld devices must be
password-protected. Using the Security policies, you can ensure that each enterprise device has
a password set. If a password is not set on a handheld device, the user is prompted to set one.
You can also specify enhanced password settings for Palm OS and Windows CE devices.
Specify which applications are to be allowed or removed on Palm OS and Windows CE
devices, and which applications are not allowed to be accessed on Windows CE devices.
You can specify a list of software programs that are allowed to be installed on Palm OS
devices. Using the Palm Configuration policy, you can ensure that each Palm OS device in your
organization has only authorized software programs installed. If a user installs an unauthorized
program, the application is automatically removed according to the policy schedule or when the
user synchronizes the device. Using the WinCE Configuration policy, you can specify which
programs you want to include on the Start menu (on a Pocket PC) or on the desktop (on a
handheld PC).
Associate different applications with the buttons on Palm OS and Windows CE devices.
By default, Palm OS and Windows CE devices have specific applications assigned to the
buttons on the actual handheld devices. Your organization might have several applications that
are used frequently. Using the Configuration policies, you can associate different applications
to those buttons, making these applications more accessible and your users more productive.
Specify general settings for Palm OS devices, such as Auto Off, sounds, alarms, beam states,
and more.
You can ensure that each Palm OS device in your organization has the same general settings.
Using the Palm Configuration policy, you can ensure that all enterprise handheld devices are
consistent across your organization to help lower help desk costs.
Set the automatic power-off and timeout values for the battery and AC adapters for Windows
CE devices.
You can ensure that each Windows CE device in your organization has the same power
settings. Using the WinCE Configuration policy, you can make your users more productive by
preventing battery power loss to idle Windows CE devices.
Specify files to retrieve from Palm OS and Windows CE devices to store on the network.
You can ensure that mission-critical information is retrieved from handheld devices and copied
to a network location. Using the File Retrieval policies, the files that you specify are retrieved
from the device and copied to the network location you specify. You can then back up these
files during your normal network backup process.
Synchronize the device password on the Handheld device with the user's network (eDirectory)
password
You can set a user's network (eDirectory) password as the device password for the Palm OS
and Windows CE devices using the Palm Security and Win CE security policies respectively.
Perform Remote Control or Remote View operations on the Windows CE devices
The administrator or remote users can remotely control or view the Windows CE devices using
the WinCE Remote Management policy.
