2.10 Creating Policies by Using the zman
Command Line Utility
ZENworks Configuration Management allows you to create different types of policies, such as
Browser Bookmarks policy, Dynamic Local User policy, Local File Rights policy, and Printer
policy. Each policy has its own set of data and configuration settings. Because it is complex to pass
the data as arguments in the command line, the zman utility takes XML files as an input to create
policies. You can use exported XML files as a templates to create polices. To use the zman
command line utility to create a policy, you must have a policy of the same type already created
through ZENworks Control Center and export it to an XML file. For more information on creating
policies by using ZENworks Control Center, see
For example, you can export a Browser Bookmarks Policy already created through ZENworks
Control Center into an XML file, then use it to create another Browser Bookmarks Policy by using
zman.
A policy can have file content associated with it. For example, the printer driver to be installed is a
file associated with the Printer policy.
Review the following sections to create a policy by using the zman command line utility:
Section 2.10.1, "Creating a Policy without Content," on page 34

google containing a bookmark to http://www.google.co.in.
