September 23, 2005 (Support Pack 2)

Updates were made to the following sections when ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Support Pack 2 was released. The changes are explained below.

Location Change

Configuring ZENworks 6.5 Workstation Imaging in a ZENworks Support Pack for a Novell Cluster Services Environment.

Changed the title of this section to account for Support Pack 2. Also modified Step 14 to avoid misleading the reader that the entire cluster should be taken down.

Installing the ConsoleOne Snap-ins.

Consolidated existing content about downloading and installing snap-ins in a section entitled Downloading and Installing Snap-ins After the Initial Installation.

Added a section entitled Installing Snap-ins During the Desktop Management Server Installation.

Added clarifying content to this section to better explain the required procedure for running ConsoleOne and snap-ins from a workstation.

Novell Application Launcher Configuration Settings.

This section in the What's New In ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management section of the Upgrade information had previously been missing from the documentation. Its inclusion is not solely a result of SP2 changes.

Pre-installation Considerations (Support Pack 2).

Added this section to the ZENworks for Desktops 3.2 SP3 Upgrade part of the guide to account for installing the Desktop Management Agent (which includes an upgrade of the Remote Management Agent) on workstations where Symantec PCAnywhere 10.x (or an earlier version) is also installed.

Preparing the Workstation or Server Where You Will Install or Administer ZENworks.

Modified the original title of this section from "Prerequisites for the Installing Workstation."

Appended the information originally found in another, separate section entitled, "Preparing the Administration Workstation or Server."

Added a note to the introductory section to the administration section to clarify that ZENworks snap-ins to ConsoleOne do not work properly from the NetWare console.

Pre-upgrade Considerations (Support Pack 2).

Added this section to the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x Upgrade part of the guide to account for upgrading the Remote Management component of the Desktop Management Agent on workstations where Symantec PCAnywhere 10.x (or an earlier version) is also installed.

Software Requirements for Installing the ZENworks Database Only.

Updated the table with the following information: .

  • SLES 9 SP1 or Solaris versions on which you can set up the Oracle9i Inventory database
  • If you want to achieve a better scalability of concurrent updates by Storer, you must apply Oracle 9i release 2 Patch 6 or later.

Upgrading to ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Support Pack 2.

Added this chapter for administrators who might be upgrading directly from the shipping version of ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management to ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Support Pack 2. The content varies little from the upgrade chapter for Support Pack 1.

What's New in ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Support Pack 2.

Added this section to provide information about changes included in ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Support Pack 2.
