Name given to imported machines: Select one or more machine variables to provide a
naming scheme for registering devices.
Avoid spaces in your naming scheme, because these spaces must be escaped when using
the command line utilities. For example, use ${HostName}-${OS} rather than
${HostName} ${OS}.
Folder where imported machines should be placed: Specify the folder where devices
should be placed.
As a general rule, devices with similar configuration settings (refresh intervals, logging
settings, remote management settings, and so forth) should be grouped in the same folder
so that you can specify the configuration settings on the folder and have the devices in the
folder inherit them. You should not use the same folder for devices that require different
configuration settings; doing so would prohibit you from using the folder to define the
settings and force you to define them on each individual device.
Group membership: Click Add to add a group. You can only add groups that are valid for
the type of device folder you specified on the previous page of the wizard. For example, if
you specified the
groups. To remove a group, select the box next to the group's name, then click Remove.
NOTE: If you change group membership for a device and then reregister it, the previous
group membership is left intact and the new group membership is added. For example,
device A is a member of group 1. You then edit the key to change membership to group 2.
When the device is reregistered, the device is a member of both groups.

12.1.3 Renaming, Copying, or Moving Registration Keys
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Configuration tab.
2 In the Registration Keys section, click Advanced.
3 Select a registration key by selecting the box next to its name, click Edit, then click an option:
Rename: Click Rename, type a new name for the registration key, then click OK.
Copy: Click Copy, type a new name for the registration key, then click OK.
The copy option is useful to create a new registration key that is similar to an existing key.
You can copy a key and then edit the new key's settings.
Move: Click Move, choose a destination folder for the selected objects, then click OK.
The folder for registration keys is for organizational purposes only. Devices do not need to
know where a registration key is located in order to use it, they simply need to know the
key name.
Some actions cannot be performed on multiple objects. For example, if more than one check
box is selected, the Rename and Copy options are not available from the Edit menu.
