Modifying The Device Naming Template Used During Registration - Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - DISCOVERY-DEPLOYMENT-RETIREMENT REFERENCE 10.3 30-03-2010 Deployment Manual

9.3 Modifying the Device Naming Template Used
During Registration
The device naming template determines how devices are named when they register. By default, a
device's hostname is used. You can change it to use any combination of the following machine
variables: ${HostName}, ${GUID}, ${OS}, ${CPU}, ${DNS}, ${IPAddress}.
If the naming template causes conflicting device object names, another machine variable is
automatically appended to make the second name unique. For example, if you are using the
hostname for the name and you have two devices with the same hostname, the GUID is added to the
hostname to create a unique name.
To modify the template:
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Configuration tab.
2 In the Management Zone Settings panel, click Device Management, then click Registration to
display the Registration page.
