Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Support Pack 1 - ZCM 11 SP1

Situation

Remote control MSI install does not include an all users option.
 
The ZENworks Remote Viewer installation (for using Remote Control in ZCC) installs files into the local user profile.  For example C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Novell\ZENworks\Remote Management .
 
Additionally, acceptance of the device certificate for remote control is saved in a user instance of the browser.
 
Because of this, each user of a particular PC or Terminal session must do a separate install of the Remote Viewer MSI in order to use Remote control in ZCC on that device or Terminal session.  Additionally each user who needs to install the Remote Viewer MSI must have install rights.
