On a managed device, if you launch a published application that is installed on a Citrix server
having iPrint policy configured, it might take considerable time for the policy to be enforced on
the server. During this period, the iPrint functionality is not available for the application.
The iPrint policy is not enforced on the device if you set the
DisableUserDaemonHealing
settings configured in the Group policy to be applied in terminal sessions of Windows Server
2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 devices. For more information, see
the Policy Management issue in
(http://www.novell.com/documentation/zcm10/).

3.6 Assigning a Policy to Users

Certain key points that you must be aware of before you assign a policy to a user are as follows
There are two types of users: users in the corporate directory and local users on managed
devices. Policies can be associated to users in the corporate directory. ZENworks assumes that
a mapping exists between users in the corporate directory and users on a device. When a user
logs in to the corporate directory, ZENworks obtains the policies for the corporate user and
caches them on the device.
If a mapping exists between a corporate user and a local user, ZENworks also associates the
cached policies with the local user. When a user logs in to the device, the previously cached
policies are enforced for the local user. When the user also logs in to the corporate directory, the
policies for the corporate user are refreshed, then enforced.
The set of policies, both directly assigned and inherited, is called as a set of assigned policies
for a device or a user. When calculating the set of assigned policies, filters such as multiplicity
or system requirements are not applied. Groups and containers also have assigned policies.
Policies that are disabled are not included in the set of assigned policies.
If you are assigning a Local File Rights policy to a network made up of devices running

Running Different Languages," on page
Before assigning a Roaming Profile policy to a user on a Windows Vista device or Windows
Server 2008 device, make sure a user profile with correct registry hive permissions is available
on the device. See
Stored on a Windows Share Location to Users on a Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or
Windows 7 Device," on page
Perform the following steps to assign a policy to a user:
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.
2 In the Policies list, select the check box next to the objects such as policies or policy groups.
3 Click Action > Assign to User.
4 Browse for and select the user, user groups, and user folders to which you want to assign the
group. To do so:

If you are looking for a specific item, such as a User or a User Group, you can use the
Items of type list to limit the types of items that are displayed. If you know the name of the
item you are looking for, you can use the Item name box to search for the item.
