7.10 Configuring the ZENworks Management
Daemon (zmd) Settings
Use the ZENworks Management Daemon Settings page to configure the Zenworks Management
Daemon (zmd) settings for your ZENworks Management Zone. These settings apply to all devices
in your ZENworks Management Zone unless they are changed on a device folder or individual
device. Any changes to the settings on this page are applied to devices upon refresh.
The zmd daemon performs software management functions on the ZENworks managed device,
including updating, installing and removing software, and performing basic queries of the device's
package management database. Typically, these management tasks are initiated through the
ZENworks Control Center or the rug utility, which means you should not need to interact directly
with zmd.
The settings that you can configure on this page can also be set using the rug utility. For information
about each setting and its corresponding value, see
To configure a zmd setting:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Configuration tab.
2 Click ZMD Settings.
3 Click Add to open the Configure Setting dialog box.
