4.0 Deploying Version 10.3.3

Review the following sections:

4.1 Planning to Deploy Version 10.3.3

You must consider the following guidelines to plan for the deployment of version 10.3.3 in your Management Zone:

  • You can directly deploy version 10.3.3 to Primary Servers, Windows Satellites and managed devices that have ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 (10.3 or later) installed.

  • Upgrading from ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP 3 (10.3.3) to ZENworks 11 is not supported. If you choose to deploy version 10.3.3, you can directly upgrade to ZENworks 11.1 after ZENworks 11.1 is released.

  • If your Management Zone consists of ZENworks Asset Management 10.2.x Windows Satellites and managed devices, you can deploy version 10.3.3 to the devices only if the ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 update has been downloaded and is available in the Management Zone. The ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 update is deployed first, and subsequently version 10.3.3 is deployed. Therefore, the device reboots twice.

  • You must deploy version 10.3.3 first to the Primary Servers, subsequently to Satellites, and finally to managed devices.

  • If you have a ZENworks Asset Management 10.3/10.3.1/10.3.2 Satellite without the Authentication role configured, and at a later time you want to add the Authentication role to it and update it to version 10.3.3, you must first deploy version 10.3.3 and subsequently configure the Authentication role.

  • If your Management Zone consists of ZENworks Asset Management 10.3, 10.3.2 or 10.3.3 Primary Servers and ZENworks Asset Management 10.2.x/10.3/10.3.1/10.3.2 managed devices and Satellites, and if you choose to deploy version 10.3.3:

    • Ensure that the ZENworks Asset Management version of a managed device is earlier than or the same as the ZENworks Asset Management version of its Satellite and Primary Server.

    • Ensure that the ZENworks Asset Management version of the Satellite is earlier than or the same as the ZENworks Asset Management version of its Primary Server.

7.2.1 The Authentication role of a Satellite is not updated to version 10.3.3

After you apply version 10.3.3 to a ZENworks Asset Management 10.3/10.3.1/10.3.2 Satellite with the Authentication role configured, the Satellite is updated, but the Authentication role is not updated to version 10.3.3.

Workaround: Remove the Authentication role from the Satellite device, then again add the role to the device. For more information on how to remove and add the role to a Satellite, see the Satellites section in the ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 System Administration Reference.
