Q.
I need to import workstations in different parts of the tree with a different naming convention. Unfortunately, I only have a single workstation import server.
A.
With ZENworks for Desktops 4 and later, create multiple workstation import policies, associate the default one with the server that is your import server and do not associate the others with any server. Then on the workstations that you do not want to use the default policy, simply add a string value in the registry called ImportPolicy under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ Novell\ZENworks\ZENWSREG key in the workstation's registry that points to the distinguished name (DN) of the alternative policy. You can use the ZENworks application launcher to distribute this registry setting based on certain conditions, such as laptops versus desktops.
