ZENworks® ESM 3.5 Administrator’s Manual 144
Script Variables
This is an optional setting, which permits the Administrator to define a variable (var) for the script
and either be able to use ESM functionality (i.e., launch defined custom user messages or
hyperlink; switch to a defined location or firewall setting) or have the freedom to change the value
of a variable without changing the script itself.
