5.2 Troubleshooting Remote Management Installation

This section provides information to help you troubleshoot the following Remote Management problems on Windows servers:

Installation of the Remote Management snap-ins fails

Source: ZENworks Server Management; Remote Management snap-in install
Possible Cause: Some files on the machine where you are installing the snap-ins might be in use.
Action: Do the following:
  1. Ensure that no remote session is using the snap-ins on the machine where you want to install the Remote Management snap-ins.

  2. Retry installing the Remote Management snap-ins.

Upgrading the Remote Management Agent might fail

Source: ZENworks Server Management; Remote Management Agent Install
Possible Cause: During the upgrade of the Remote Management Agent, a Remote Control or a Remote View session might be in progress. This prevents some Remote Management files from being replaced with the newer version.
Action: Do the following:
  1. Stop the Remote Control or Remote View session.

  2. Reinstall ZENworks 7 Remote Management Agent. For more information on installing the Remote Management Agent, see Remote Management ConfigurationNovell ZENworks 7 Server Management Installation Guide.

ConsoleOne snap-ins cause Remote Control to ZENworks for Desktop 3.x with SP3 workstations to fail

Source: ZENworks Server Management; Remote Management ConsoleOne snap-in.
Explanation: ZENworks Server Management and ZENworks Desktop Management have different set of snap-ins. Because Server Management supports launching of Remote Management only from server object, it does not contain the snap-ins to launch Remote Management from workstation object. When ZENworks 7 Server Management snap-ins are installed over ZENworks for Desktops 3.x snap-ins, the snap-in required to launch Remote Management from workstation object cannot load ndsaccess.dll, that is replaced during Server Management installation. Hence, the Remote Management launch fails.
Action: Update the existing snap-ins to ZENworks 7 Desktop Management with Support Pack 1.
