1.1.1 Discovery and Deployment

The Discovery process is used to find devices in the network through querying a set of provided IP
addresses and to collect inventory information by using technologies like SNMP, WMI, and SSH.
Discovery process can also find devices from Novell eDirectory
your traditional ZENworks devices from Novell eDirectory.
The Deployment process is used to distribute and install ZENworks Adaptive Agent to a collection
of devices that are identified by the discovery process or by providing a list of devices explicitly.
These devices then become managed devices.

1.1.2 Software Management

ZENworks Configuration Management lets you configure, distribute, install, remove, and roll back
applications on your devices. This is done through the use of software bundles.
When you assign a bundle to a device, you can install and launch it on the device according to the
schedules (distribution, launch, and availability) that you define.

Reference.

1.1.3 Policy-Based Device Management

ZENworks Configuration Management lets you use policies to create a set of configurations that can
be assigned to any number of managed devices. It helps you to provide the devices with a uniform
configuration, and it eliminates the need to configure each device separately.
ZENworks Configuration Management policies help you manage the Internet Explorer favorites,
Windows Group policies, local file rights, printers, SNMP service settings, roaming profiles, and
configure dynamic local user accounts and manage them on the managed devices. You can also
configure the behavior or execution of a Remote Management session on the managed device, and
administer as well as centrally manage the behavior and features of ZENworks Explorer.
