NOTE:Most of the ZENworks Services run as a privileged user account. This account can be identified based on the following naming convention: __z_x_y__ , where x and y are the last two digits of the IP address of the server, added at the time of installation. This user name can be changed to any other local user or domain user of the administrator’s choice. It can be a local user who is part of the Administrators group or a domain user. In the case of a domain user, the user should be a member of the Built-in Administrator groups.

The services reside in the \microfocus\zenworks\bin directory on a ZENworks Server. Refer to the following sections for instructions to help you control the ZENworks services:
