1.6 Inventoried-Only Device Requirements

You can use ZENworks 11 to inventory workstations and servers by deploying the Inventory-Only module on these devices.

IMPORTANT:If there are ZENworks product issues that are caused by an issue with the platform, the following support standards apply:

  • Platforms that are generally supported by platform vendors are supported by Novell.

  • If the platform vendor provides support to your installations through a special agreement (such as extended support), Novell expects you to extend this support infrastructure to us to resolve the issue.

  • If the platform vendor does not support the platform at all, Novell offers no additional support.

The inventoried-only devices must meet the following requirements:
