4.1 Using a ZENworks Control Center Quick Task

To use a ZENworks Full Disk Encryption Quick Task in ZENworks Control Center, a ZENworks administrator must be assigned the Manage Endpoint Security Settings and Tasks privilege. This privilege is configured through the Quick Tasks rights for administrators and administrator groups. For help configuring Quick Tasks rights, see the ZENworks 11 SP3 Administrator Accounts and Rights Reference.

For user capturing to be enabled on a device through a Quick Task, the device must be running and have a network connection to the ZENworks Server. Otherwise, the ZENworks Server cannot deliver the Quick Task to the device.

Watch a video that shows how to use a Quick Task to enable user capturing on a device.

To enable user capturing on a device:

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click Devices.

  2. In the Devices panel, locate the device for which you want to enable user capturing.

  3. Select the check box next to the device, click Quick Tasks, click FDE: Enable Additive User Capturing, then click OK to confirm the task.

  4. In the Quick Task Status dialog box, click Start if you want to use the default options.

    or

    Configure the options as desired, then click Start.

    For information about the options, click the Help icon in the Quick Task Status dialog box.

  5. As soon as the Quick Task is complete, have the user restart the device.

    Until the device restarts and the correct user’s credentials are captured, the device’s security is compromised. Having the user immediately restart the device minimizes this possible security threat.
