3.13 Editing the Tednode.properties File

If you should install the Subscriber software to a server that does not have a Subscriber object in any eDirectory tree, such as a Windows server in a Microsoft domain, the tednode.properties file is used by such a server for its configuration information. When you have Subscriber configuration changes, you need to edit the server’s tednode.properties file using the information in this section.

The tednode.properties file is located in the \zenworks\pds\ted directory on the server.

Table 3-20 shows the required format of the file, including comments on some of the entries. The information on the right side of an = symbol is only an example and not the required value for that line. However, the examples are intended to show the correct syntax for the values.

Set this property to true to clean up distEvent.Ted when the ZENworks Server Management service starts up. By default, it is false.

For the remaining tednode.properties file entries, remove the # (comment) symbol from a line to enable it. This makes that line effective for the schedule type that it is listed under. However, do not remove the # symbol from the first line for a schedule type because it is only a description that indicates the schedule type. You can change the default values that are listed.

The following sample has the Daily schedule enabled because the appropriate # symbols have been removed:
