Details
The Enter Credentials page lets you provide the usernames and
passwords required to deploy the Adaptive Agent to the devices
included in the task.
Unless you save the credentials, they are stored only in memory.
Saved credentials are encrypted in the database for increased
security.
Credentials that are not saved are cleared from memory when the
ZENworks Server is restarted. If you are creating a scheduled
deployment task, you might want to save the credentials to ensure
that they are still available when the deployment is performed.
To add a credential:
1. Click Add to display the Enter Credential Information dialog
box. In the Username field, specify the appropriate username.
To deploy the Adaptive Agent, the ZENworks Server must be
able to map a drive to the device's administrative share
(ADMIN$). This requires the following credentials:
If the device is a member of a domain: You can use a
domain or local Administrator group credential. If you use
the local credential, you must specify the username as
workstation_name\username
domain credentials.
If the device is not a member of a domain: You must
use a local Administrator group credential.
2. Enter the user password in the Password and Reenter
Password fields.
3. Click OK to save the credential.
Depending on your environment, one credential might not provide
access to all of the devices where you want to deploy the Adaptive
Agent. In this case, you need to add as many credentials as
necessary to cover the devices included in the task. The ZENworks
Server uses the first credential that works.
The Select Schedule page lets you choose whether you want the
task to run as soon as it is created (the Now option) or if you want to
schedule the task to run at a future date and time. If you select
Scheduled, choose one of the following schedules:
No Schedule: Indicates that no schedule has been set. The task
does not run until a schedule is set or it is manually launched. This
is useful if you want to create the task and come back to it later to
establish the schedule or run it manually.
Date Specific: Specifies one or more dates on which to run the
task.
Recurring: Identifies specific days each week, month, or a fixed
interval on which to run the task.
See Appendix B, "Schedules," on page 119
for more information about the schedules.
