ZENworks Application Restrictions

Introduction

This is a small tutorial on how to restrict ZENworks applications to show up everywhere. This is not a complete list, it's just some settings that I use, tried and tested.

Only show up on Windows XP

Below settings make sure your application only shows up on a Windows XP box:

x.x.x.x (Major.Minor.Revision.Build)

Windows 2000 has 5.0.x.x
Windows XP has 5.1.x.x
Windows 2003 has 5.2.x.x
The ZENworks Operating System variable only checks the parts that are given. The four sections are all treated separately. See this Novell TID: http://www.novell.com/support/php/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=7000952&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_TID_1_1&dialogID=78248801&stateId=0%200%2078252492 for more information. See the Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows ) page to see more operating system versions.

Don't show up if you don't exist

Below settings make your application shortcut disappear if the application doesn't exist:

Don't show up on terminal servers

Below settings will prevent your application to show up on terminal and citrix servers:
