Ability to group bundle actions by dependacies

Garth Lahana

Often when creating complex bundle actions, complex dependancies need to be repeated on each action to create the desired result(s). It would be extremely handy to be able to create a dependancy root so to speak with the actions grouped under each header…

Nested bundles/additional calls via right mouse button (no „bundle group“)

TestusN

Kill process in user space.

adminmzb

On our Citrix servers we sometimes need to be able to kill a process only in user space. This is currently not possible as the kill bundle action kills all processes with the same name for all users.

We are currently upgrading our endpoints to the latest ZCM agent, but there is no way to easily see what version of the agent is on the endpoint.. Could you add this to the devices view as another column? Currently we can easily see the endpoints OS version…

Comment field for each individual requirement (ZCC, Bundles, Requirements)

TestusN

Requirements can sometimes be very complex. Sometimes, after a while, you don't even know what sense a particular requirement should have. It would be good if a comment could be entered for each requirement

Automatic display of warning about password expiration using AD user source

Celso Macedo

During a user login, it would be useful if ZENworks automatically warned the user about password expiration when the zone uses AD as the user source and the machine isn't in the AD domain. The administrators could choose whether the warning is shown…

ZPM - Distribution of patches only over specific network

In the new ZPM some things have been changed, which is good. However, I have found an option that is not included and could be very interesting. Many notebooks are now in use and most people work from home. When I distribute a patch policy and several…

Add system requirements to device group

frankbijlvdab

To avoid admin errors, it would be a great feature to be able to add system requirements to device groups. For example : avoid Windows 10 OS devices being added to a device group with bundles only for Windows 11. So add a system requirement to the group…

Make last call of a bundle recognizable by user in the Bundle Summary

After several years of use, it is very interesting to know whether a bundle is still in use/was last accessed. This is the only way to be sure of being able to deactivate/delete a bundle. It would therefore be very good if the Bundle Summary showed a…

I understand that we will soon be able to collect ZENworks-based logs from a device and within ZCC. I'd like to also like to see if Windows logs can also be collected/downloaded. Thank you.
