    Novell Workstation Manager is the primary management agent used by ZfD. It gives the workstation an identity in the Directory and processes ZENworks policies from the directory. (Never run this agent on a Novell Account Management server.)

    ZENworks Application Launcher NT Service assists at installing desktop applications to Windows NT* workstations where the local user has no rights to perform software installations.

    Remote Management provides an interface for remote control and diagnostics utilities.

    ZENworks Imaging Service performs Windows tasks for workstations that have recently been restored from a disk image. These tasks include such things as changing SIDs or NETBIOS names.
