5.0 Installing the ZENworks Adaptive Agent on Windows

Any devices you want to manage through ZENworks must have the ZENworks Adaptive Agent deployed to them. The Adaptive Agent distributes software, enforces policies, collects software and hardware inventory, and performs all other ZENworks management tasks on the managed device.

For detailed information on deploying the ZENworks Adaptive Agent, see ZENworks Adaptive Agent Deployment in the ZENworks 10 Configuration Management Discovery, Deployment, and Retirement Reference.

IMPORTANT:If you plan to install the ZENworks Adaptive Agent on a device where the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Agent is already installed, there are coexistence issues that you need to consider. Please review Section 2.0, Coexistence with Other ZENworks Products before continuing with ZENworks Adaptive Agent Deployment in the ZENworks 10 Configuration Management Discovery, Deployment, and Retirement Reference.
