19 September 2011 - ZENworks 11 SP1a (11.1a)

This is downloadable from https://download.novell.com/index.jsp?product_id=&search=Search&families=10109 and the readme is at https://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks11 - look at this very carefully, especially regarding pre-requisites and upgrade methods.

This ISO replaces the original, and contains fixes for six agent-side problems which have been seen on several sites.
See TID 7009257 Agent update 1 for ZENworks 11.1 for details of this update: what it contains, how to obtain it and how to deploy it.
For new zones, or zones being newly upgraded to ZENworks 11 Support Pack 1, this ISO should be used - for any zone that has been installed with 11.1, or upgraded to 11.1, read TID 7009257 Agent update 1 for ZENworks 11.1 before attempting to deploy the 11.1a ISO

August 8 2011 -  ZENworks 11 SP1 (11.1)

Note: upgrading to ZENworks 11.1 must be done with media, not via System Update, and with ZENworks services on all but one Primary server shut down.

 If the zone is being upgraded from 10.x, ZCM 11.1 will require new License Keys, which are found in the Novell Customer Center portal
