Wizard Page
Pre/Post Deployment page
When you finish the wizard, the deployment task is added to the list in the Deployment Tasks
panel. You can use the panel to manage current tasks and create new tasks for deploying the
ZENworks Adaptive Agent to devices. The panel includes the following information for each
task:
Name: Displays the name given to the task. If Credentials Cleared is displayed below the
task name, the credentials required to perform the task on the targeted devices have been
cleared from the ZENworks Server's memory and must be entered again. To avoid having
credentials lost when they are cleared from memory, you must store them in the
ZENworks database.
Schedule: Displays the dates on which the task is scheduled to run.
Status: Displays the following status information: Scheduled, Pending, Installing,
Registering, Inactive, Finished, or Error. You can mouse over certain statuses to receive
more information about the status.
If an error occurred, the error is also recorded for the target device in the Deployable
Devices panel. You can click the target device in the Deployable Devices panel to receive
more information about the error.

10.4.3 Deploying to a Non-Discovered Device

If a target device has not been added to your ZENworks database through a discovery task, you can
select the device while you are creating the deployment task. The following sections explain how to
create the deployment task depending on whether you want to identify the target device by its IP
address/hostname, from a CSV file, or from an LDAP directory.
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Deployment tab.
2 In the Deployment Tasks panel, click New to launch the Deploy Device Wizard.
Details
Specify commands that you want run before and after the Adaptive
Agent is installed on a device. For example, you can execute
operating system commands, run scripts, and launch executables.
The commands are passed to the preagent as part of the
deployment task package. The preagent executes the commands in
the system space, so you must specify commands that do not
require user interaction.

commands, click the Help button.
