The following sections describe the changes to Workstation Management functionality in ZENworks 6.5:
The following sections provide updated information about the Novell iPrint policy:
For more information on any of these topics, see "Novell iPrint Policy (User and Workstation Packages)" in "Workstation Management" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Administration Guide.
Unless you are running NetWare 6.5 SP2, you must download the latest Novell iPrint utility file (nipp.exe).
If you have workstations that are physically located outside the firewall, you can use the Address For Printing Outside the Firewall field, to specify the proxy, firewall, or Network Address Translation (NAT) address followed by a colon (:) and the port number.
In ZENworks for Desktops 4, if a slow link was detected that would require significant time to download a roaming profile, you could set some Novell registry keys to automatically download the roaming profile, use the locally stored profile, or display an instructional dialog box to let the user choose to either continue the download or to use the locally stored profile. This functionality has changed in ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management. All roaming profile processing is now handled by Microsoft. This lets the administrator use Group Policies to control the behavior of roaming profiles. Slow link detection is also now handled by Microsoft processes and is defined within the Group Policies configuration (gpedit.msc or ZEN-delivered Group Policies).
You can continue to configure roaming profiles in the Desktop Preferences policy in ConsoleOne®. All functionality that Microsoft supports should work in ZENworks Desktop Management-delivered roaming profiles.
For more information, see "Windows Desktop Preferences Policy (User Package)" in "Workstation Management" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Administration Guide.
Imported security settings let administrators set only certain security settings without affecting all remaining security settings. Security settings can be imported from an Active Directory Group policy or can be generated with the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
For more information, see "ZENworks Windows Group Policy (User and Workstation Packages)" in "Workstation Management" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Administration Guide.
The Disable User History option has been added on the Workstation Import policy's Limits page.
Each time a user logs in to a workstation, the Workstation object's User History page is updated so that an administrator can view a complete list of all users who have logged on to that workstation. If you do not want user history to be collected for workstations, you should enable this option.
For more information, see "Workstation Import Policy" in "Workstation Management" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Administration Guide.
A Do Not Add to History option has been added on the Workstation object's User History page. This option lets you disable the collection of user history for this workstation.
