This also maintains GUIDs that are established in the eDirectory objects for your workstations.
Use ZENworks Control Center to discover them and deploy the Adaptive Agent to them.
Established eDirectory associations and GUIDs are not maintained, so you must use ZENworks
Control Center to make new assignments to the workstations.
Determine whether you want to maintain associations to Workstation objects and whether you have
GUIDs that you want to maintain for the workstations. If so, migrate your workstations by using the
Migration Utility and use ZENworks Control Center to deploy the Adaptive Agent to them. If not,
use ZENworks Control Center to discover them and deploy the Adaptive Agent to them, thus
skipping the workstation step in the Migration Utility.

3.4.8 Identifying Users

Users are not migrated to Configuration Management; their eDirectory objects are simply pointed to
from Configuration Management. Then, any changes that you make to user objects in eDirectory are
immediately known in Configuration Management.
You should first configure your user source in ZCC, then migrate the object types in the
recommended
sources are known by Configuration Management.
IMPORTANT: The user source and the associated objects that you are migrating must be in the
same tree.
Active Directory users are utilized in Configuration Management in the same manner as eDirectory
users. However, traditional ZENworks systems do not have directory objects in Active Directory to
migrate. If Active Directory is configured in ZENworks Control Center and eDirectory and Active
Directory are synchronized by using Novell Identity Manager or any similar utility, then the
eDirectory user associations can be migrated to the Active Directory users.

3.4.9 Folder Usage in Configuration Management

In a way that is similar to using contexts to organize your objects in eDirectory, Configuration
Management uses folders. You should plan how to organize your migrated data in Configuration
Management by defining a folder structure.
Keep in mind the following when creating folders in Configuration Management:
Configuration Management does not have an accessible root directory where you can place
folders, such as the eDirectory tree name context. Instead, Configuration Management provides
certain basic root-level folders for the different Configuration Management components, which
provide default starting paths for where you can migrate the objects. For example, all migrated
policies are placed under a Policies folder. Then in ZCC, your migrated policies are displayed
on the Policies page.
You can migrate eDirectory contexts to Configuration Management. They are converted to
folders for the ZENworks database. Everything downstream in the context applicable to the
current type you are migrating is also queued for migration.
For example, if you are migrating applications, all application objects under the container are
added to the queue, including any application objects found in all of its subcontainers. Before
migrating, you can delete unwanted objects in any queued folder.

order. Dependencies on users are more easily resolved during migration if the user
