4 One-Click ConsoleOne via SSH

With End-of-Life for NetWare looming and GroupWise becoming more prevalent on Linux servers, the need to run ConsoleOne directly from a domain server has become more necessary. If done with any regularity, this can be a burden. Fortunately, if you use a Linux workstation there is a way to make a one-click shortcut to run ConsoleOne directly from the Linux server.

1 Old Friends and New for ZCM: Accessing old disk images and making space for new ones

We recently started testing, and then deploying, ZENworks Configuration Management 10.2. For our test setup, we installed ZCM on SLES 10.3 as a XEN virtual machine. We are a small company, so it’s not uncommon for us to convert a test setup to a production setup if the testing goes well. Our testing of ZCM went well, so we decided to leave the ZCM on the XEN virtual machine. One problem though: storage space for images.

0 Migrating from ZENworks 7 to ZCM

When the ZENworks migration tools just won’t do.

When we decided to migrate from ZENworks 7 to ZCM we took a look at the ZCM migration tools and while good, wouldn’t work for us. We wanted to do a direct move from (the majority of applications being) distribution script based, and file server holding installation files, to the content repository model available in ZCM. So how did we do it without mass reinstallations of applications?

0 "Less MSIérables" utility (aka "lessmsi")

There is an updated "Less MSIérables" utility (aka "lessmsi") with all of the features suggested by the users of the tool including fixes for the bugs noted. It is probably about a googol times more interesting than it used to be since it now extracts files and maintains their target directory structure just as if they were installed from the msi setup/installation file.
