Installation

The following changes were made in this section:

Server Selection	Added the following note under Step 3: IMPORTANT: If you choose to remotely install the Inventory Agent or the Remote Management Agent on a Windows 2003 server configured as Domain Controller, you must specify the hostname or the IP address of the server in the Add Server Via Hostname/IP Address field.
Policy and Distribution Services	Removed the "Setting Up the Distributor in a Mixed Network Operating System Environment" section, because it no longer applies. ZENworks 6.5 SP1 or SP2 Distributors can only be on servers running eDirectory 8.x, and therefore you can no longer have the problem of Distributor servers not being able to authenticate to eDirectory 8.x.
