benefits:
Section 1.2.1, “Connections,” on page 10
Section 1.2.2, “Using Policies to Manage Handheld Devices,” on page 10
Section 1.2.3, “Distributing Software and Files,” on page 12
Section 1.2.4, “Collecting Software and Hardware Inventory,” on page 13
1.2.1 Connections
novdocx (en) 13 May 2009
ZENworks Handheld Management is optimized for low bandwidth, unreliable communication
channels using queued messaging, compression, and checkpoint/restart strategies, and it does not
require the mobile user to make special connections to the LAN.
For Palm OS and Windows CE devices, ZENworks Handheld Management uses the user’s normal
connection mechanism (TCP/IP connections or synchronization software, such as Palm HotSync* or
Microsoft* ActiveSync*) to transfer data between the ZENworks Handheld Management Access
Point and the handheld device.
BlackBerry devices use the BlackBerry wireless e-mail platform to transfer data between the
ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point and the device.
1.2.2 Using Policies to Manage Handheld Devices
In ZENworks Handheld Management, a policy is a set of rules that defines how handheld devices
can be configured and controlled, including security options, application availability, file retrieval,
remotely control or view, and more. Policies are contained within policy packages, where they are
also administered and customized.
ZENworks Handheld Management provides the following types of policies:
User-based policies: Lets you manage handheld devices based on user credentials stored in
eDirectory.
Handheld-based policies: Lets you manage handheld devices without user authentication.
10 Novell ZENworks 7 Handheld Management Installation Guide
Using ConsoleOne, you can create, configure, and associate policies to do the following:
Ensure that a password is set on BlackBerry, Palm OS, and Windows CE devices.
Because sensitive business information is stored on handheld devices (meeting notes, contact
lists, and so forth), your organization might have guidelines that all handheld devices must be
password-protected. Using the Security policies, you can ensure that each enterprise device has
a password set. If a password is not set on a handheld device, the user is prompted to set one.
You can also specify enhanced password settings for Palm OS and Windows CE devices.
Specify which applications are to be allowed or removed on Palm OS and Windows CE
devices, and which applications are not allowed to be accessed on Windows CE devices.
You can specify a list of software programs that are allowed to be installed on Palm OS
devices. Using the Palm Configuration policy, you can ensure that each Palm OS device in your
organization has only authorized software programs installed. If a user installs an unauthorized
program, the application is automatically removed according to the policy schedule or when the
user synchronizes the device. Using the WinCE Configuration policy, you can specify which
programs you want to include on the Start menu (on a Pocket PC) or on the desktop (on a
handheld PC).
Associate different applications with the buttons on Palm OS and Windows CE devices.
novdocx (en) 13 May 2009
By default, Palm OS and Windows CE devices have specific applications assigned to the
buttons on the actual handheld devices. Your organization might have several applications that
are used frequently. Using the Configuration policies, you can associate different applications
to those buttons, making these applications more accessible and your users more productive.
Specify general settings for Palm OS devices, such as Auto Off, sounds, alarms, beam states,
and more.
You can ensure that each Palm OS device in your organization has the same general settings.
Using the Palm Configuration policy, you can ensure that all enterprise handheld devices are
consistent across your organization to help lower help desk costs.
Set the automatic power-off and timeout values for the battery and AC adapters for Windows
CE devices.
You can ensure that each Windows CE device in your organization has the same power
settings. Using the WinCE Configuration policy, you can make your users more productive by
preventing battery power loss to idle Windows CE devices.
Specify files to retrieve from Palm OS and Windows CE devices to store on the network.
You can ensure that mission-critical information is retrieved from handheld devices and copied
to a network location. Using the File Retrieval policies, the files that you specify are retrieved
from the device and copied to the network location you specify. You can then back up these
files during your normal network backup process.
Synchronize the device password on the Handheld device with the user’s network (eDirectory)
password
You can set a user’s network (eDirectory) password as the device password for the Palm OS
and Windows CE devices using the Palm Security and Win CE security policies respectively.
Perform Remote Control or Remote View operations on the Windows CE devices
The administrator or remote users can remotely control or view the Windows CE devices using
the WinCE Remote Management policy.
What Is Novell Handheld Management? 11
Define the order in which the handheld devices can connect to multiple ZENworks Handheld
Management Access Points
You can now assign multiple ZENworks Handheld Management Access Points to a Palm OS or
Windows CE device and also define the order of the Access Points to which the device must
connect to using the Access Point Configuration policy. If the device is unable to connect to the
ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point configured first in the policy, then it
automatically tries to connect to the ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point
configured next.
1.2.3 Distributing Software and Files
Because handheld devices are rarely available at a central location for updating, you need a
mechanism to distribute files to them, so that mobile users are kept current with the latest
applications, including bug fixes, application updates, and so forth.
ZENworks Handheld Management provides this mechanism by allowing you to distribute
applications and install them on remote handheld devices at your convenience. You can now specify
the date and time when you want to install the Handheld Application object files on the device by
configuring date and time in the object’s properties. This helps you in synchronizing the software
updates across the handheld devices at the same time even when the devices are not connected to the
network.
novdocx (en) 13 May 2009
You can even schedule distributions to recur so that handheld devices are updated with the latest
files when any components of an application change.
NOTE: ZENworks Handheld Management supports software distribution to BlackBerry devices
when the device is synchronized with a cradle; ZENworks Handheld Management does not support
software distribution to BlackBerry devices using wireless synchronization.
ZENworks Handheld Management provides a comprehensive mechanism for scheduling software
distributions to run on handheld devices. The scheduling and management of software distributions
and software clients is performed from ConsoleOne.
ZENworks Handheld Management provides you with the following benefits:
Table 1-1 ZENworks 7 Handheld Management Benefits
Benefit Description
Centralized
scheduling
Software distributions are scheduled using ConsoleOne. The administrator
specifies:
The files to distribute
When distributions should run
When applications are installed
How frequently distributions should run
12 Novell ZENworks 7 Handheld Management Installation Guide
Benefit Description
Monitoring After software distributions are run, result information is sent to the ZENworks
Handheld Management Server, so you can analyze the state of distributions and
devices, including:
Overall status for all distributions in the system
Details about failed distributions
Distribution output
Reporting ZENworks Handheld Management reporting provides detailed reports about your
handheld devices and your entire ZENworks Handheld Management system.
For example, you can easily generate a report about all software distributions that
have run for a specific handheld device or you can generate a report about all
applications installed on your handheld devices.
novdocx (en) 13 May 2009
Automatic
Grouping
The ZENworks Handheld Management querying capabilities allow administrators to
automatically create criteria-based device groups so they do not need to create
them manually.
For example, administrators can use queries to help them automatically populate
device groups so that all devices with StrongARM processors are in one group, all
MIPS devices are in another group, and so forth.
1.2.4 Collecting Software and Hardware Inventory
Managing software and hardware assets is a critical function. By keeping up-to-date inventories,
you can use ZENworks Handheld Management to do the following:
Ensure licensing compliance.
ZENworks Handheld Management identifies the number of handheld devices and the number
of copies of an application that are installed on those devices so you can easily verify the
license count against your internal records.
Plan for software and hardware upgrades.
If you decide to update to a specific version of an application or you decide that a certain
amount of RAM is required for a new application that has been deployed, ZENworks Handheld
Management helps you to quickly identify which handheld devices need to be upgraded and
how many components you need to order.
1.3 Understanding the ZENworks Handheld Management Components
The following sections provide an overview of the key components of ZENworks Handheld
Management:
Section 1.3.1, “ConsoleOne,” on page 14
Section 1.3.2, “ZENworks Handheld Management Server,” on page 14
Section 1.3.3, “Handheld Client,” on page 14
Section 1.3.4, “Access Point,” on page 14
What Is Novell Handheld Management? 13
1.3.1 ConsoleOne
ConsoleOne is the administration tool for ZENworks Handheld Management. ConsoleOne lets you
perform policy-based handheld device management. It also lets you view all hardware and software
inventory (both for a specific device or for all of the devices in your system); build queries, and view
reports; and remotely control or view the handheld devices.
1.3.2 ZENworks Handheld Management Server
The ZENworks Handheld Management Server runs as a service on a Windows machine. The
ZENworks Handheld Management Server is the central point of the ZENworks Handheld
Management setup and is responsible for managing communications with all clients and
maintaining distribution schedules and distribution results for the setup.
1.3.3 Handheld Client
The handheld client is a ZENworks Handheld Management component that can be installed on
BlackBerry, Palm OS, and Windows CE devices.
novdocx (en) 13 May 2009
The handheld client installs applications, collects software and hardware inventory for each device,
and enforces policies.
1.3.4 Access Point
Handheld devices do not directly communicate with the ZENworks Handheld Management Server
service. Instead handheld devices communicate with the ZENworks Handheld Management Access
Point, which then communicates with the ZENworks Handheld Management Server service.
When you install the ZENworks Handheld Management Server using the installation program, the
ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point is automatically installed on the same computer.
Depending on your environment, however, you can also install the ZENworks Handheld
Management Access Point on other computers running Windows that communicate through TCP/IP
with the ZENworks Handheld Management Server. For example, you might want to install the
ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point on additional computers to distribute the
communication load and to provide better support for WAN configurations. The ZENworks
Handheld Management Access Point manages application and policy delivery and sends results of
application installations and policy enforcements back to the ZENworks Handheld Management
Server.
1.3.5 Desktop Synchronization Integration Software
The ZENworks Handheld Management Desktop Synchronization Integration Software is required
on machines where handheld devices cradle or synchronize using Microsoft* ActiveSync or Palm
HotSync. If handheld devices can connect wirelessly or via an Ethernet cradle to the ZENworks
Handheld Management Access Point, the Desktop Synchronization Integration is not required.
The Desktop Synchronization Integration Software is also required on machines if you want to use
ZENworks Handheld Management to distribute software to BlackBerry devices. The Desktop
Synchronization Integration Software is required for Palm OS devices that do not support TCP/IP
communications.

2.1.6 Firewall Considerations
If computers on which the ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point is installed are
connecting from outside of a firewall (for example, from the Internet) to the ZENworks Handheld
Management Server, the following information might be useful in configuring your firewall.
novdocx (en) 13 May 2009
The ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point connects to the ZENworks Handheld
Management Server using TCP port 2398. ZENworks Handheld Management IP agents on
handheld devices connect using TCP port 2400. Your firewall should be configured to allow
these incoming connections.
Additionally, for optimum performance, the firewall should allow outgoing UDP packets (from
the ZENworks Handheld Management Server to ZENworks Handheld Management Access
Point machines) on UDP port 2398.
If you enable HTTP encapsulation, configuring your firewall is not necessary because data
transmitted is converted into an HTTP format so that it can pass through routers that
specifically block non-HTTP traffic. For more information, see Appendix A, “Configuring SSL
and HTTP Settings,” on page 81.
2.2 Performing Pre-installation Tasks
Before installing the ZENworks Handheld Management Server, complete the following tasks:
Section 2.2.1, “Creating the ZENworks Handheld Management Server’s Windows User
