28.2.1 Support Added for Recognition of the Fourth Component of an OS Version

Windows XP SP2 adds a fourth component to a Windows Operating System version (for example 5.1.1287.1120). ZENworks 7 Application Management now supports this fourth component.

For older applications with only three components in an Operating System version, ZENworks Desktop Management adds a zero (0) in the fourth component position. When the legacy requirement setting is imported into the distribution rules, ZENworks changes the fourth number from a 0 (zero) to a wildcard value, or “x.” This functionality creates a potential issue if you want to perform an Equal to: = compare operation in an Operating System version distribution rule, when the wildcard value does not exactly match the specified value in the fourth component.

28.2.2 Support Added for Deploying the Desktop Management Agent to Workstations in a Windows Workgroup

If the workstation where the Agent Distributor is executed is not a member of a Microsoft domain, the Agent Distributor can now be used to distribute the Desktop Management Agent to target workstations that are members of its Windows workgroup. For more information, see Section 12.6, Using the Desktop Management Agent Distributor to Deploy the Agent to Workstations in a Windows Workgroup.
