The ZENworks Orchestrator Console is the main operations center for the Orchestrator Server. It is installed with the ZENworks Orchestrator Client and the Orchestrator Server when you install in YaST. To launch the ZENworks Orchestrator Console, go to the /opt/novell/zenworks/zos/server/bin and run the./zoc command. Log into the server.
