2.0 Prerequisites for the Workstation Running the Installation

The following table lists the software requirements for the workstation you use as you install Desktop Management Services and Middle Tier Server software on Windows or NetWare® servers using a Windows machine.

Installing these services on a Linux server can be accomplished from a Linux server only.

Software Requirement for the Installing Workstation

Desktop Management Services

Windows 2000 Professional SP4 (or later) workstation, Windows XP SP1 (or later) workstation, Windows 2000 Server SP4 (or later), or Windows Server 2003 (or later), Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition
Novell Client™ 4.9 SP1a (or later) installed
Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 (or later) installed
If you intend to install ZENworks snap-ins to the local workstation, ConsoleOne® 1.3.6 must already be installed on this workstation. For more information, see Step 8 in the section entitled Section 9.1.2, Performing the Full Installation (Including Schema Extension).

Not Supported: The following software configurations are not supported for Desktop Management Server software installation:

Installing from a Windows 95/98/ME/NT 4 workstation.
Installing the product from one side of a firewall, such as a Network Address Translation (NAT) configuration, to the other side of a firewall.

Middle Tier Server

Windows 2000 (or later) workstation, Windows XP SP1 (or later) workstation, or Windows 2000/2003 (or later) server
Novell Client 4.9 SP1a (or later) installed

Not Supported: The following software configurations are not supported for ZENworks Middle Tier Server software installation:

Installing from a Windows 95/98/ME/NT 4 workstation.
Installing from a network where Network Address Translation (NAT) has been configured.

The login session at the installing workstation must meet these requirements:

You must be logged in as Admin or an Admin equivalent if the server you are installing to is a NetWare® server. This enables the installation program to extend the eDirectory™ schema and to browse for eDirectory trees and NetWare servers.

NOTE:Both the Desktop Management Server installation program and the Middle Tier Server installation program allow you to select servers from only one eDirectory tree. If you run either of these installation programs from a Windows server and if that server is not part of the tree you have selected, you cannot install the Desktop Management Server locally.
If you are installing to a Windows 2000 server or Windows Server 2003, you must be logged in as Administrator (or equivalent) in order to authenticate to the server you are installing to.

The Novell Client must be installed on the workstation or server where you will be running ConsoleOne for administering ZENworks 7 Desktop Management. This is because ConsoleOne is dependent on the client's NetWare libraries.
