7.0 Configuring Management Zone Settings

The ZENworks® Management Zone is the top level of the ZENworks management hierarchy. The Management Zone provides an autonomous administrative unit of ZENworks Servers and managed devices (workstations and servers). You use the ZENworks Control Center (the Web-based administrative tool) to manage devices. The ZENworks Servers and managed devices work together to apply the management tasks.

You can use the Configuration tab in the ZENworks Control Center to configure your Management Zone.
