Distributed Server Package

For Server Management only, a Distributed Server Package includes polices that relate to NetWare^®, Windows* 2000, Windows Server 2003, Solaris*, or Linux* servers.

Plural policies can be added multiple times in the same policy package.

A Distributed Server Package contains the following policies:

• Copy Files: (Plural policy) Automates file copying.
• Prohibited File: (Plural policy) Allows you to monitor and enforce the deletion or moving of unauthorized files from a specified volume/drive or directory.
• NetWare SET Parameters: (Plural policy) Specifies and optimizes selected SET parameters for a server or group of servers. For the NetWare platform only.
• Scheduled Down: (Plural policy) Schedules when a server should go down, and whether it should automatically be brought back up. The policy includes which command (RESET, RESTART, or DOWN) to use when bringing down the server.
• Scheduled Load/Unload: (Plural policy) Automates the loading and unloading order of NLM^TM and Java* class processes for the selected servers. However, because many NLM files require user input to unload, unloading them cannot be automated.
• Server Down Process: Controls the processes to follow when downing a server.
• Server Scripts: (Plural policy) Automates script usage on your servers.
• SMTP Host: Sets the TCP/IP address of the relay host that processes outbound Internet e-mail. This policy must be enabled if you select the E-Mail option for notifying or logging messages in any of the other policies.
• SNMP Community Strings: Allows you to receive and respond to SNMP requests.
• SNMP Trap Targets: Sets SNMP trap targets for associated Novell^® eDirectory^TM objects. You can also schedule when SNMP trap targets are to be refreshed.
• Text File Changes: (Plural policy) Automates changes to text files.
• ZENworks Database: Sets the DN for locating a ZENworks Database object. This policy must be in effect for the Policy/Package Agent to locate a database file for logging successes and failures that are used in creating reports. If a database object is not identified with this location policy, Server Management does not use the corresponding database file to log reporting information. Therefore, you should create this policy for each database object in the tree where the Policy/Package Agent will write information. This policy can point to the same database object as the similar policy contained in the Service Location Package, which the Distributor Agent uses for logging information.
• ZENworks Server Management: Configures basic parameters for Server Management, such as status logging, defining the server console prompt for the Server Management agent, setting its working path, and setting a database purging limit. This policy can be enabled on each server where you want to enforce Server policies. If you do not enable the policy, Server Management works from preprogrammed defaults. However, we recommend that you enable this policy because you can specify how information is purged from the database. The database grows with every Server Management success or failure logged. This control prevents the database file from becoming excessively large.
