Because of its object-oriented structure, NDS gives you the flexibility to set up the optimal security scheme for your network. The NDS database contains complete information about every user object and resource object, such as users, groups, printers, and applications. Resources are organized in a tree structure. Through this directory tree you can grant network users appropriate rights to resources, and users can readily locate the resources they are authorized to use. As your organization changes, you can easily update your directory tree to reflect those changes.
Additional purchase is required for full ZENworks functionality.
With NAL you can install applications and upgrade software and operating systems from any server or workstation. When you install an application on a server and give users rights to it, its icon automatically appears on their workstations. Because users are restricted from deleting icons or changing path information, support calls to your help desk are greatly reduced. You can assign applications by user, group, or container and have appropriate applications deployed to users' workstations. You need to assign applications to a group only once.
