If the Novell Client™ was previously installed on the workstation where the Desktop Management Agent is installed, the Novell Client continues to launch at login time. By leaving the Client in place, it is assumed that the workstation is located inside the firewall and that it has no need to authenticate through the ZENworks Middle Tier Server. When you install the Desktop Management Agent, however, the workstation is upgraded with new ZENworks 7 Desktop Management functionality, which includes the updated features.
For more information about how the Novell Client is used by ZENworks Desktop Management, see the Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Administration Guide.
