I am pleased to announce the availability of the next major milestone for ZENworks 2017. The engineering team has been hard at work building some exiciting new value into the product and I am happy to share it with you. Here's what's new in Preview 2:

• Refined mobile device enrollment workflow

• iOS Device Control policy allows you to implement iOS device restrictions.

• Email account provisioning for iOS

• Lock/Unlock quicktasks for iOS/Android

• New branding policy for ZENworks User App (zapp) on Windows

• New progress experience and foldering capabilities in the ZENworks User App.

• New browser agnostic management console helper (replaces remote mgmt, file upload, and group policy plugins) means most ZCC capabilities should now work on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer and Edge.

• New bundle reporting domain for ZENworks Reporting to simplify and enhance reporting capabilities for ZENworks bundles. This includes the ability to report on bundle linked content.

• SLES12 based imaging distribution to support a broader set of new hardware

• Optimization of content and effective policy tables in the database making reporting faster

We expect that there will be one more Preview in approximately 4-5 months which will likely be the basis for the shipping product late this year.
