ZENworks Patch Management Agent Utility
6505
New Version: 6.4.2.405
Utility to install/remove/update ZENworks Patch Management Agent
This utility has been written by Lumension (Patchlink) but is not supported by them, or by Novell.
You can use this utility to install the ZPM 6.4 Agent version to a PC, or remove the agent, or upgrade to this version.
Command-line options
| /remove | Removes all old agent data (if any) |
| /unregister | Removes all old agent data and unregisters the agent from PLUS (probably slower than /remove) |
| /install | Removes all old agent data (if any) and installs the ZPM Update Agent |
| /upgrade | Removes all old agent data and upgrades to the 6.4 ZPM Update Agent (can also be a “downgrade”) |
| The following require the /install option | |
| /server=http[s]://servername | *Required |
| /serial=88888888-88888888 | *Required |
| /proxy=proxyname:8888 | |

Using this tool
Submitted by melnikok on 22 January 2008 - 7:47am.
This installs the 6.4.0.252 agent. Is it OK to use this version for Novells Patch Management and not the 6.4.2.252? The utility does what I want, but I don't want to get started if I need to be installing the 6.4.2.252 Novell agent. What is the differences in the two agents? Thanks for any help you can give. Ken

Big oops, and apology
Submitted by spond on 30 January 2008 - 5:55am.
This was a mistake on my part - Patchlink had shipped the agent utility to me, I'd tested that it did the install, but I didn't verify the agent version. We now have a new one, and that's been placed here on the web site. You should be good to go now.

Orca works well also
Submitted by mfinn on 24 January 2008 - 1:47pm.
I modified the .msi file using Orca (Part of the Windows Installer SDK)
Both Server and Serial are listed under Properties.
Use "msiexec /i filename.msi /passive" or /silent to create unattended or completely silent installers.

there are several ways to install the agent - this utility can help in circumstances where the standard, preferred, method does not work.

Orca
Submitted by ABresky on 25 June 2008 - 2:26am.
Hi,
how does it work with ORCA? When setting the server path and serial it keeps comming up with error 1609. Is there anything else that needs to be changed in the msi?
Is there any planning when it will work with the downloaded installer.msi directly?

From PL 6.2 to NZPM 6.4
Submitted by Anonymous on 4 November 2008 - 2:13pm.
Thank you for this tool.
It was the only way I found to remove old Patchlink agents (v6.2) and install the new Novell agent (v6.4)
You saved me lots of trips to uninstall them manually

Does this tool allow installing to more than one computer once?
