Welcome to the ZENworks Cool Solutions Community

As your systems grow and complexity increases so does the size of your log files – analysing such files with ZEDCM is simplicity itself. Most engineers use word processors or simple editors like Notepad to view their log files in the early days but as the file size grows things tend to become more difficult. The ZEDCM Log Viewer was designed to solve this problem by an engineer who no longer had the time to parse the logs line by line and hope that he didn’t miss something along the way.

Several of you have asked about the Disclaimer text that displays at the bottom of everything we post at Cool Solutions. Here's the scoop.

Shashikala BV explains how to enable Single Sign-on to Novell ZENworks server using Novell Access Manager's Form Fill policy.

The Content Synchronization Status Report Set is a set of useful reports to know about the status of your content on each of the available content servers. They also provide a graphical view of the content synchronization status. However, the reports currently work against the Sybase database. We have modified the reports to work with MSSQL database as well.

In ZCM when specifying a "Launch Executable" action you can specify success return codes. These are codes that an executable (i.e. notepad.exe) will return when the executable is finished.

This is all great except that it can be difficult knowing what return code was returned. This executable will report the return code so that you can easily add the value to the "Success Return Code" values.

This is a very simple executable that will run on any OS. Using it is as simple as launchReturnCode.exe notepad.exe.

Here are some highlights from Course 3113, Section 5: Using Change Management.
