Distributions

You can assign the current policy package to a Distribution.

In previous versions of ZENworks for Servers, the policies contained in the Server Package were enforced on Subscribers by associating them with the Subscriber objects or container objects that held Subscriber objects. In ZENworks^® 7 Server Management, these policies are now contained in the Distributed Server Package, which you must distribute to the Subscribers so that the policies can be enforced on them.

The Distributed Server Package is only used by Policy and Distribution Services in ZENworks Server Management, because Policy and Distribution Services policies must be distributed to be enforced. This package is not used in ZENworks Desktop Management.
