3.1 Prerequisites

Before starting the procedure, ensure that you go through the following points:

  • Ensure that the new server that you are adding to the zone meets all the requirements. For more information, see ZENworks System Requirements in the ZENworks Documentation site.

  • Ensure that the first Primary Server is at ZENworks 23.4. If the first Primary Server is at a lesser version, then installation might fail.

  • The first Primary Server should be up and running.

  • If you are using an external database, then ensure that the database is up and running.

  • If your ZENworks Management Zone is using the internal ZENworks Certificate Authority (CA), the new Primary Server is automatically issued a server certificate during installation.

  • If your zone is using an external CA, you must provide the new Primary Server with a valid certificate issued from the external CA.

  • Ensure that you have taken a reliable backup of the Primary Server.
