Hard Disks |
Supported hard disks:
-
Any standard IDE, SATA, or PATA hard disk (no self-encrypting mechanism)
-
Seagate Momentus self-encrypting hard disk (SATA, DriveTrust, and latest firmware). For a list of the supported Seagate Momentus models, see Section A.0, Supported Self-Encrypting Drives.
-
Both standard and self-encrypting hard disks in the same device are not supported. A device can have multiple standard disks or it can have multiple self-encrypting disks, but it cannot have both. When using multiple standard disks, all disks must be the same (for example, all IDE or all SATA).
Unsupported hard disks:
Supported hard disk communication modes:
Supported disk type:
Supported file system:
Supported partitions:

Hard Disk Space/Partitions |
For standard hard disks:
-
100 MB of free disk space on the primary (system) hard disk for a ZENworks primary partition. This partition, created when the Full Disk Encryption policy is applied, holds encryption files and supports pre-boot authentication (if used). To create the 100 MB partition, 300 MB of disk space must be available or the creation process will fail.
-
One entry in the primary partition table. Windows supports a maximum of four primary partitions; one must be available for the ZENworks primary partition.
-
140 MB of free disk space on the system volume for ZENworks Full Disk Encryption files.
For self-encrypting hard disks:

Drivers |
When using ZENworks Pre-Boot Authentication, we strongly recommend that you use the Microsoft IDE/SATA drivers. Other drivers can cause issues such as CD and DVD drives disappearing. |
|
Virtual Machines |
Virtual machines must meet the requirements listed above and in Managed Device Requirements in the , with the following exception:
IMPORTANT:SCSI is typically the default disk type when creating a virtual machine. SCSI is not supported; the disk type must be IDE.
|
|
Smart Cards |
ZENworks Pre-Boot Authentication (PBA) supports smart card authentication. For a list of supported smart card solutions, see Section B.0, Supported Smart Card Readers, Tokens, and Middleware. |
|
Single Sign-On |
ZENworks Pre-Boot Authentication (PBA) supports single sign-on with Windows via both the Windows Client and the Novell Client. When using the Novell Client, the following requirements apply:
-
Novell Client 2 SP2 IR1 is required on Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
-
When using user ID/password authentication with the Novell Client and DLU, the user needs to log in to the Novell Client once before single sign-on will work. During single sign-on, the ZENworks PBA passes the user ID and password to the Novell Client. However, the client requires other details (tree, server, context, and so forth) that are available only if the user has populated the details during a previous log in.
-
When using smart card authentication with the Novell Client, NESCM (Novell Enhanced Smart Card Method), and DLU, the user needs to be the last user to have logged in to the Novell Client. During single sign-on, the ZENworks PBA passes the pin to the Novell Client. However, the client requires other details (tree, server, context, and so forth) that are available only if the user was the last smart card user to log in to the client.
-
Smart card authentication with the Novell Client, NESCM, and mode is not supported.
