Let me be the first to announce the availability of the Public Beta.

Head here to download (Novell Login required)

Note the readme and the hardware requirements for installation.

I strongly recommend installing this on a server class machine. If you want to see ZENworks Configuration Management, Reporting and the integrated ZENworks Patch Management - you will really need a dual core machine with 4 GB of RAM.

Note that in the Public Beta the reporting functions require a Windows 2003 Server.

Download, install and report back your findings.

I'll be blogging on the features in the coming days and weeks.

Maybe the confusion is because there is no separate application explorer. It's integrated into the agent a little more completely than before. The functionality is still there though.

Windows Server 2003 is required?

Thanks.
