Zenworks configuration possible?

Zenworks configuration possible?
Wed, 07 Nov 2007 08:25:43 GMT
Our IT Mgr says it's not possible; our principals hope someone out there 
can say, "Yes it is.  We've done it here."  Here's the question:

"Can Zenworks set up grade level access to certain programs?  For example 
if a 5th grade signs in there would be certain programs showing up vs. a 
8th grade's programs."

Has anyone out there tried this?

Many thanks :)

Sure it can be done, depending on how you set it up. One way of doing it
could be to create separate OUs containing only users of a particular
grade. For instance a setup could look something like this;

OU=Students
  OU=1st-Grade
    OU=Class1
    OU=Class2
  OU=2nd-Grade
    OU=Class3
    OU=Class4
  OU=3rd-Grade
    OU=Class5
    OU=Class6

You can then associate the apps with the separate Grade OU, plus that
you can also have separate apps associated with just a few classes. Just
be sure to setup the inheritance level in Application Launcher
appropriately.
You could also do the above by using groups instead of OUs, should your
current design not allow the use of OUs for this.
