Situation

After installing the ZCM 11.0 agent, the PC randomly reboots.

If Client Self-Defense is disabled (see  " Configuring Client Self Defense" in " ZENworks 11 Endpoint Security Agent Reference" in https://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks11/index.html) then the PC does not randomly reboot.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.1 - see KB 7008746 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.1 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support
