Some of the key features of this program include:
Zero-touch enrollment of devices to ZENworks
Wireless supervision of devices
Mandatory enrollment of devices

Enrollment of supervised iOS devices and the inclusion of additional restrictions: In this release, ZENworks supports the enrollment of iOS devices in the supervised mode through the Apple Device Enrollment Program or by using the Apple Configurator.
Additional settings have been introduced in the Device Control Policy to apply restrictions on these supervised devices.

Configuration of app parameters: ZENworks lets you pre-configure supported apps for iOS devices by specifying key-value pairs or by uploading a configuration file obtained from the app vendor.
For more information on configuring app parameters see Specifying App Configuration Parameters in ZENworks 2017 Mobile Management Reference.
Configure a HTTP Proxy Server for an MDM Server: You can now define a HTTP Proxy Server to enable an MDM Server to connect to the Internet through the proxy server.These proxy servers are used by the MDM Servers to contact the APNs Server, GCM Server, and managed mobile devices.
For more information on configuring HTTP proxy server, see Configuring a Proxy Server in ZENworks 2017 Mobile Management Reference.
Language support for email notifications: Multi-language support for email notifications sent to mobile devices is now available with this release. The Mobile Enrollment Policy lets you specify the language in which these notifications are to be sent. You can also edit the email message in your preferred language.
For more information on email notifications, see Managing Email Notifications in ZENworks 2017 Mobile Management Reference.
Configure ActiveSync Logon Attribute in the User Source: ZENworks now lets you edit the User Source (LDAP directory) attribute that will be used to authenticate to the ActiveSync Server, while synchronizing emails on devices.
NOTE:After updating to ZENworks 2017 Update 1, the existing users of ZENworks 2017 need to ensure that the appropriate ActiveSync Logon attribute is configured in the user source so that ZENworks continues to relay emails to the enrolled devices.
For more information on the ActiveSync Logon Attribute, see Configuring the Attribute for ActiveSync Server Authentication in ZENworks 2017 Mobile Management Reference.
(Experimental support) ZENworks Application (ZAPP) now enables you to pin and unpin bundles to the Desktop, Taskbar and Start menu tiles.
For more information, see ZENworks Application 2017 Update 2.
The system update enhancements will enable you to:
View the deployment status in a zone: After deploying a system update in the zone, users can view the deployment status of Primary Servers by using the https://<host_name>:7444/systemupdate/sustatus link. The filter options enable users to limit the number of results displayed, based on the build version and deployment status.
View the deployment status by device: The new search feature enables users to narrow down the deployments status results based on the device name, device type and status.
For more information, see the ZENworks System Updates Reference.
