FTF Roll Up 1 for ZENworks (11 SP3) is available at https://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=6c6917CRv6U~

FTF Roll Up 1 for ZENworks (11 SP3) is a collection of patches for ZCM 11.3.0 or 11.3.0a, and is applicable on top of Win 8.1 update for 11.3.0 and Win 8.1 update for 11.3.0a.  FTF Roll Up 1 also includes Win 8.1 update for 11.3.0 and Win 8.1 update for 11.3.0a.  If installing FTF Roll Up 1 on ZENworks 11 SP3 (11.3.0 or 11.3.0a), the Win 8.1 update will be installed  as part of FRU1. 

This update is intended to be delivered as an easy-to-deploy, well-tested and focused set of fixes.  FRU Updates are designed to allow the deployment of important patches in-between product updates.

An FRU is provided as a zip file, which can be imported into an existing zone, and deployed to devices as required.  It is not available via the Novell Customer Center, nor is it shown if "Check for Updates" is performed (ZCC > Configuration > System Updates > Action > Check for Updates) because this is a set of patches, not a product update.

Important: If you have any HP Notebook 6540b devices with HP DriveGuard v4.2.2.1, for servers having versions prior to ZENworks (11 SP3) (11.3.0 and 11.3.0a), Win8.1 update for 11.3.0 and Win 8.1 update for 11.3.0a., see TID 7003532 ZCM11SP2 failed on HP Notebook 6540b with HP DriveGuard v4.2.2.1

For ZENworks 11 SP2 (11.2.4) servers, see TID 7006958 ZCM agent install fails on Windows XP with HP DriveGuard for details of an important patch which you MUST deploy before attempting to upgrade any existing devices.

System Update status is not accessible in ZENworks Control Center

While updating a server from ZENworks 11 SP3 to Windows 8.1 Update for ZENworks (11 SP3), during the Pre-global actions phase, the System Update deployment status is not accessible through ZENworks Control Center. This is because the ZENServer and ZENLoader services on this Primary Server are stopped during the Pre-global actions phase. 

Workaround: Allow the Pre-global actions phase to complete, and then re-log into ZENworks Control Center. The progress of the Pre-global actions can be monitored using the loadermessages. log file.
