2. NALWIN /S – Launches the ZENworks Application in a Shell (or Silent Mode). The user will not be allowed to close the window. The “X” button of the window will be grayed out. The user has to either logout from the machine or kill the NALWIN.exe process from the Task Manager.

This option can be used when the Administrator wants the logged-in users to be disallowed from closing the ZENworks Application Window.
