Running the Installation Program

Use the steps in this section to get ZfD up and running on a NetWare or Windows NT/2000 server:

  1. Select a network workstation where you can later run ConsoleOne to administer ZfD. This is the workstation where you will run the ZfD installation program.

    IMPORTANT:  Make sure that this workstation and all other administrative workstations are not running ConsoleOne while the ZfD installation is running.

  2. At the workstation, insert the ZENworks for Desktops product CD.

    The WINSETUP.EXE program will autorun. If it does not autorun, run it from the root of the CD.

  3. Click English > Install ZENworks to launch the NIS setup program.

    HINT:  At any time while the NIS setup program is running, you have the option of clicking Back to change your install preferences.

  4. Click Next to display the End User License Agreement for the ZfD software > read the agreement > click Accept if you agree with the terms of the license and the limited warranty.

    If you do not agree with the terms of the software agreement, do not install the software.

  5. In the Install Prerequisites screen, check to see that the network server or servers to which you are installing meet the minimum requirements listed > click Accept when you have read the list.

  6. In the ZENworks Install Types dialog box, select Typical.

  7. In the ZENworks List of Trees dialog box, click the name of the NDS tree where you want to install ZfD.

  8. In the ZENworks List of Servers dialog box, click the names of the servers where you want to install ZfD.

  9. In the Inventory Database Server Selection dialog box, select the server where you want to install the ZENworks Inventory database (you can also choose not to install the database at this time) > click Next.

    If you choose to install the database, a subsequent dialog box will be displayed where you can choose the server volume where you want to install it. You should choose a volume other than SYS: to avoid filling up vital disk space on that volume. For more information, see Installing the Inventory Database .

  10. In the Languages dialog box, click the language of the files that you have chosen to be installed to the server > Next.

    HINT:  English is chosen by default and must be installed in addition to any other language you choose.

  11. In the Automatic Workstation Import Management dialog box, select the Import (or Import/Removal) role for at least one of the servers where you are installing ZfD > click Next.

    For more information about server roles in Automatic Workstation Import, see Understanding Automatic Workstation Import and Removal in Automatic Workstation Import in Deployment.

  12. In the Inventory Server Roles dialog box, select the assignment you want to give to each of the inventory servers you have created > click Next.

    For more information about server roles in Workstation Inventory, see Assigning the Roles for the Server.

  13. In the ScanDir Volume dialog box, select the server volume where you want the scan data files to be stored. For more information, see Specifying the Location of the Scan Directory on the Server.

    1. If you previously chose to install the database, you will be prompted to enter a unique site ID and name on the Site ID for Database dialog box. For more information, see Assigning the Site Information for the Database.

  14. Click Next to continue.

  15. In the Summary dialog box, review the list of the products to be installed and the disk space that each product will consume when installed > click Finish to begin the installation process.

The Typical Install checks to see if you have the proper rights to copy files and to extend the schema, then the program executes these processes for each ZfD component until all are installed.
