ZENworks 7 Desktop Management requires ConsoleOne® version 1.3.6.
You can also use the information in this section to upgrade to ConsoleOne 1.3.6e, available on the ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1 Companion 1 CD.
ZENworks for Desktops 4.x required that ConsoleOne be installed on the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x Server in order to install the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x snap-ins to the server. If desired, you could then copy the ConsoleOne directory from the server to a workstation in order to run ConsoleOne from the workstation.
ZENworks 7 enables you to install the Desktop Management snap-ins to both a ConsoleOne directory on the Desktop Management Server and a ConsoleOne directory on a local workstation. By default, the snap-ins are installed to the server when you upgrade it from 4.x to 7 or from 4.x to 7SP1.
As you upgrade ConsoleOne to version 1.3.6 (or 1.3.6e), you need to ensure that:
You install it to all locations from which you want to administer ZENworks 7 Desktop Management.
You keep at least one copy of a ConsoleOne installation that includes the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x snap-ins. This enables you to continue to manage ZENworks for Desktops 4.x during the upgrade process.
To perform a ConsoleOne upgrade:
(Optional) Make a copy of at least one ConsoleOne installation that includes the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x snap-in.
ConsoleOne 1.3.6 and 1.3.6e supports the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x snap-ins. You have the option of making a copy of your current ConsoleOne with the snap-ins, waiting to make a copy of the ConsoleOne 1.3.6 installation with the snap-ins (see Step 3), or doing both.
For example, if you have a ZENworks for Desktops 4.x Server with ConsoleOne 1.3.5 and the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x snap-ins located in the sys:\public\mgmt\consoleone\1.2 directory and you want to ensure that you retain a copy of that installation, create a sys:\public\mgmt\consoleone\zfd4 directory and copy all files and subdirectories from the 1.2 directory to the zfd4 directory.
Install ConsoleOne 1.3.6 (or 1.3.6e) to a local workstation or to a ZENworks for Desktops 4.x Server. To do so:
Insert the Novell ZENworks 7 Companion 1 CD (or the Novell ZENworks 7 with Support Pack 1Companion 1 CD) into the CD drive of the workstation to autorun the ZENworks 7 installation program.
If the installation program does not autorun, launch winsetup.exe from the root of the CD.
Select .
Select to launch the ConsoleOne 1.3.6 installation program.
Follow the prompts to install ConsoleOne to the ...\consoleone\1.2 directory.
When installation is complete, the ...\consoleone\1.2 directory contains ConsoleOne 1.3.6. If you installed ConsoleOne to a location that contains the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x snap-ins, the 4.x snap-ins still function.
(Optional) If you want to retain a copy of ConsoleOne 1.3.6 with the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x snap-ins, copy the installation you created in Step 2 to another location.
IMPORTANT:If you want to administer an eDirectory tree where ZENworks for Desktops 4.x has been installed, you must use ConsoleOne with the ZENworks for Desktops 4.x snap-ins. If you want to administer an eDirectory tree where ZENworks 7 Desktop Management has been installed, you must use ConsoleOne with the ZENworks 7 snap-ins.
If you try to administer a ZENworks 4.x object using the 7 snap-ins, you are prompted to install the 7 license, even if you have already installed it, and you cannot administer ZENworks property pages.
