Arguments enclosed inside parentheses ( ) are mandatory and those enclosed by square brackets [ ] are optional.

An ellipsis indicates that a command accepts multiple entries of the last argument type. The arguments must be separated by space or commas, depending on the command. For example:

zman server-add-bundle [options] (server) (bundle) [...]

The ellipsis indicates that server-add-bundle can accept multiple bundles. In the command level help, the multiple entry argument help is given as [(bundle) (bundle) ... (bundle)] for more clarity.

Installs the specified bundles based on the display name that match the specified regular expression or string, or the bundle GUID.

Use the bundle-list command to get a list of the available bundles and their display names.

An example to install a bundle:

zac bin MacBundle

Launches the specified bundle. The actions in the Launch Action set are executed. If you try to launch a bundle that is not installed, the bundle is first installed and then launched.

Use the bundle-list command to get a list of the available bundles and their display names.

An example to launch a bundle based on the display name:

zac bln MacBundle

Displays the list of bundles assigned to the device and the logged-in user.

The output of this command is displayed in columns and provide the details of every bundle assigned or available for the managed device. The Display Name, Version, and Bundle Type columns represent the bundle display name, the version number of the bundle or sandbox if the bundle is a sandbox version, and the bundle type, respectively.

The Status column displays the following states:

Available: Displays this state if the bundle is installed.

Not Installed: Displays this state if the particular bundle version is not installed.

Downloaded: Displays this state if the contents are downloaded but the action in the Install Action set have not been executed.

An example to list all the bundles:

zac ref partial bypasscache

Registers the device in a Management Zone.

To execute this command you must have Create/Delete device rights for the folder that you are attempting to register.

You can use the following options:

• g - Lets you create a new device object with a new GUID and password for the device if you have multiple devices with the same GUID. When you register a device by using this switch, all the associations (policies and bundles) assigned to the original device object are removed. You cannot use this option to create a new GUID for a Primary Server or a Satellite device. The local user must have Local Administrator rights to use this option.
• k - Lets you register the device using the specified registration key.
• p - Lets you specify the Management Zone administrator’s password.
• u - Lets you specify the Management Zone administrator’s username.
• a - Lets you specify the authorization key to authorize the device.
• r - Lets you to reset the device password and then register the device.
• a - Lets you specify the authorization key to authorize the device.
• The Authorization key is stored locally in the ZENworks agent. The key can be added/updated in the agent using this option.
• This option cannot be used along with the other options.

Examples:

zac reg -k key1 https://123.456.78.90

zac reg -k key1 -u administrator -p novell https://zenserver.novell.com:8080

The port number is required only if the ZENworks Server is not using the standard HTTP port. If a username and password are not supplied, you are prompted for them.

This command registers a device in the current zone and assigns it to the GUID of an existing device object. The currently associated device object is deleted. To execute this command you must have Create/Delete device rights for the folder on which you are attempting to reregister.

To reregister, specify a username and password:

zac reregister -u myuser -p mypassword eaa6a76814d650439c648d597280d5d4

The options are:

• --default - Sets a proxy that can be overriden by proxy settings from the Management Zone.
• --clear - Clears the current proxy, but will use proxy settings from the Management Zone.
• --ipv6 - sets an IPv6 proxy.

Examples:

zac sp 123.456.78.90:2349 administrator novell

zac sp /default 123.456.78.90:2349

zac sp /clear

zac sp /ipv6 [2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1]:2349 administrator novell

If a username and password is not specified, then you will be prompted to enter them.

This command unregisters a device from the current zone.
