12.1 Managing Registration Keys
You can define the keys that are used to register devices in the Management Zone. A registration key
specifies a set of assignments that are applied to devices that register using that key. The key must be
applied during installation of the ZENworks Agent on a device, either manually or by using a script.
If you do not want to use registration keys, you can create registration rules to determine a device's
assignments when it registers without using a key. The major difference between using the default
registration rules versus using a registration key is that the default registration rules use a filter to
determine which set of device assignments to apply, but a key corresponds directly to a specific set
of assignments to apply. For more information, see
page
107.
You can use the ZENworks Control Center or the zlman command line utility to create and modify
registrations. The following procedures explain how to perform these tasks using the ZENworks
Control Center. If you prefer the zlman command line utility, see the Registration Commands
section of
zlman (1) (page
