Novell Documentation: ZENworks for Desktops 4

Software Requirements

Because DeFrame is now a component of ZfD 4.0.1, some of the software requirements are slightly different. You should read the following sections and ensure that your environment meets the requirements:

Terminal Server Requirements

The following are the minimum Windows terminal server requirements:

Item	Minimum Requirement
Operating System	Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 2 (latest service pack recommended).
Windows Terminal Services	Version supported by the Windows 2000 Server operating system.
Novell Client^TM	Novell Client 4.83 (or later) for Windows NT/2000.
ZENworks for Desktops Management Agent	ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1. You can install all Management Agent components, but DeFrame support requires only the Application Management and Workstation Management components. The ZfD Management Agent installation program, which you use to install the Application Management and Workstation Management components, also installs the DeFrame software.
Internet Explorer	Internet Explorer 5.5 with Service Pack 2 (latest service pack recommended). DeFrame does not actually require IE 5.5, but the ZfD Management Agent installation program does.
Citrix MetaFrame* (Optional)	If you use Citrix MetaFrame, the minimum requirements are: Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 with Service Pack 3. The latest service pack and hotfixes are recommended. You can download them at the Citrix Web site. or Citrix MetaFrame XP Feature Release 2 (FR2). The latest service pack and hotfixes are recommended. You can download them at the Citrix Web site.

Client Workstation Requirements

The following are the minimum requirements for a workstation that will run a thin-client application from a DeFrame terminal server.

Item	Minimum Requirement
Operating System	The minimum requirement is the same as for ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1 (see ZfD 4. x Software Requirements ): Windows 98 SE Windows NT 4.0 Workstation with SP6a Windows 2000 Professional with SP2 Windows XP Professional

ZENworks for Desktops Management Agent	ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1. You can install all Management Agent components, but DeFrame support requires only the Application Management component. NOTE: The Management Agent is not required if the user will launch DeFrame thin-client applications only from the ZENworks OnDemand Services portal. The OnDemand Services portal is part of the ZENworks 6 suite. The Management Agent is only required 1) to launch DeFrame thin-client applications from Novell Application Launcher or 2) to launch ZfD desktop applications from the OnDemand Services portal.

Windows 98 SE
Windows NT 4.0 Workstation with SP6a
Windows 2000 Professional with SP2

ZENworks for Desktops Management Agent

ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1. You can install all Management Agent components, but DeFrame support requires only the Application Management component.

NOTE: The Management Agent is not required if the user will launch DeFrame thin-client applications only from the ZENworks OnDemand Services portal. The OnDemand Services portal is part of the ZENworks 6 suite. The Management Agent is only required 1) to launch DeFrame thin-client applications from Novell Application Launcher or 2) to launch ZfD desktop applications from the OnDemand Services portal.

Directory Service Requirements

DeFrame uses Novell eDirectory^TM as its directory service. The ZfD Server installation program extends the eDirectory schema to support DeFrame objects and installs the DeFrame snap-in for ConsoleOne.

DeFrame accesses eDirectory through the Novell Client, which must be installed on each terminal server (see Terminal Server Requirements ). You do not need to have eDirectory installed on your terminal servers.

Item	Minimum Requirement
eDirectory	Version 8.5. As with ZfD, version 8.6.2 or later is recommended.
ConsoleOne	Version 1.3.2. As with ZfD, version 1.3.5 or later (included on the ZENworks for Desktops Companion CD or the ZENworks 6 Companion 1 CD) is recommended.

Novell iFolder Requirements (Optional)

You can use Novell iFolder^® to enable users to save files from a thin-client application to one or more network storage locations. DeFrame makes the storage locations available when a user launches an application and removes the user's access when he or she exits the application. If you want the storage locations available to users even when they are not using DeFrame thin-client applications, you can install the standard iFolder client to their workstations.

DeFrame supports iFolder 1.x and iFolder 2.x
