During installation of ZENworks 11 , you need to know the following information:
Installation method to use (GUI, command line, or unattended)
Graphical User Interface: A graphical user interface (GUI) installation program that works with both Windows and Linux servers is provided on the installation CD. For Linux servers, GUI capability must already be installed.
Command Line: A command line installation is available, but only for Linux servers. The Windows and Linux installation executables can both be run from a command line for purposes of using installation arguments, but for Windows it only starts the GUI installation program.
Unattended: You can use either installation method to create a response file for an unattended installation of ZENworks to other servers.

Management Zone (zone name, username, password, and port)
Database choice (embedded Sybase SQL, remote OEM Sybase SQL, external Sybase SQL, external Microsoft SQL, or Oracle database)
