3.2.2 Registration Rules

If you don't want to enter a registration key during deployment, or if you want devices to be
automatically added to different folders and groups based on predefined criteria (for example,
operating system type, CPU, or IP address), you can use registration rules.
ZENworks includes a default registration rule for servers and another one for workstations. If a
device registers without a key and you haven't created registration rules, the default registration
rules are applied to determine the folder assignments. The two default rules cause all servers to be
added to the folder and all workstations to the
/Servers
The two default rules are designed to ensure that no server or workstation registration fails.
Therefore, you cannot delete or modify these two default rules. You can, however, define additional
rules that enable you to filter devices as they register and add them to different folders and groups.
If, as recommended in Section 3.1, "Organizing Devices: Folders and Groups," on page
established folders for devices with similar configuration settings and groups for devices with
similar assignments, then newly registered devices automatically receive the appropriate
configuration settings and assignments.
To create a registration rule:
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Configuration tab, then click the Registration tab.
2 In the Registration Rules panel, click New to launch the Create New Registration Rule Wizard.
