==================================================================
Tree information
----------------
Please enter authentication information for the tree where you want to configure ZENworks.

Tree (zentree):

On the Tree Information screen, enter the name of the local host (that is, this server's) tree where you want to configure ZENworks. This field is not case sensitive.

After your credentials are validated, the ZENworks License Key screen is displayed.

==================================================================
ZENworks License Key Information
--------------------------------
Please enter a valid ZENworks license code. (90 Day Trial):

Enter the license code that you received in an e-mail from Novell after you purchased Novell ZENworks. You are periodically reminded to license the product until you provide this license code. If you don’t enter an appropriate code, ZENworks Desktop Management functions for only 90 days.

(Conditional) If you chose to install the Middle Tier, the Middle Tier Server Configuration Information screen is displayed.

==================================================================
Middle Tier Server Configuration Information
--------------------------------------------
The Middle Tier Server you configure with this program will access an eDirectory server in order to authenticate users and workstations and to obtain ZENworks configuration and policy information.

Please provide the name or IP address and administrative credentials for an eDirectory server.

Server Name/IP Address (zenmidt):

(Conditional, if you selected the Middle Tier option) Enter the DNS name or IP address of the server where eDirectory is installed.

Enter Administrative Credentials:
Proxy User (admin.myCompany):

(Conditional, if you selected the Middle Tier option) Enter the fully qualified distinguished username of the Middle Tier proxy user account (for example, midtier-proxy.org-unit.org).

To ensure that these credentials remain secure, you can set up an arbitrary user with specific administrative rights. For more information, see Section 10.3, Required Rights for the Middle Tier Proxy User Account and the NSAdmin Utility.

Password():

(Conditional, if you selected the Middle Tier option) Enter the eDirectory password for the Middle Tier proxy user.

The ZENworks Middle Tier software searches for ZENworks user objects in a specified eDirectory context and below.

Please Specify the ZENworks user context.
NOTE: This context must already exist.

Users Context (users.novell):

(Conditional, if you selected the Middle Tier option) Enter the eDirectory context where the Middle Tier Server can look for user objects that will be using Desktop Management.

The installation program verifies the existence of the context (that is, the directory container) before continuing.

(Conditional) If you chose to install the Inventory Server and the Inventory Database on the same server, the Inventory Standalone Configuration screen is displayed.

==================================================================
Inventory Standalone Configuration
----------------------------------

Inventory Server Context (novell):

(Conditional, if you selected the Inventory Server option) Enter the context for the standalone inventory server.

If you chose to install the Inventory Proxy feature, the Inventory Proxy Configuration screen is displayed.

==================================================================
Inventory Proxy Configuration

XML Proxy port (65000):

(Conditional, if you selected the Inventory Proxy option) Enter the port number you want to designate to allow XMLRPC requests pass through to the Inventory Proxy service.

If you want to change the Port 65000 default, specify a value between 0 and 65535. Ensure that the port number is not used by other services on the server.

The SSL Configuration screen is displayed.

==================================================================
SSL Configuration
-----------------
Do you want to configure SSL? (Y):

(Optional) If you want the ZENworks 7 Inventory Server to establish a secure connection with eDirectory using LDAP, enter Y, then enter the complete path and the filename of the SSL certificate.

The NetBIOS Configuration screen is displayed

==================================================================
NetBIOS Configuration
---------------------
NetBIOS Name (NetBIOS_name):

(Conditional) The NetBIOS Configuration screen is displayed only if the NetBIOS name is not present in /etc/samba/smb.conf, and the Linux server name on which you run the ZENworks installation is more than 13 characters.

If the NetBIOS name is not present in /etc/samba/smb.conf and the Linux server name is more than 13 characters, then the installation program generates a NetBIOS name using the first 13 characters of the Linux server name on which you run the installation. This name is displayed as the default value during the ZENworks Linux installation.

==================================================================
NetBIOS Configuration
---------------------
NetBIOS Name (NetBIOS_name_generated_by_the_ZENworks_installation_program):

You can either accept the default value or enter a new value, but make sure that the NetBIOS name is unique.
