Adding Support for Newly Released Versions of Operating Systems

November 2020

To install the ZENworks agent on newly released versions of operating systems that are supported after the ZENworks release, you need to externalize the OS targets. This document provides information on:

1.0 Document Updates

The following table contains information on the documentation content changes that were made in this Readme after the initial release of ZENworks 2020 Update 1:

2.0 Externalizing OS Targets

As a part of externalizing OS targets, you need to create a custom_ostargets.xml file with details of the latest platform version (supported after the ZENworks release) on which you want to install the ZENworks agent. You then need to run the configure action to ensure that the content of the custom_ostargets.xml file is updated in the Primary Server database.

NOTE:ZENworks only recognizes and uses the custom ostargets that are listed in the custom_ostargets.xml file. If the custom_ostargets.xml file is imported multiple times on a single server or on different servers, the information in the last imported file will overwrite the previously stored information, in the ZENworks database. Hence, you need to ensure that all the required custom ostargets are included in the file, each time it is imported.

For example, if the custom_ostargets.xml file with platforms A and B is imported using Server 1, ZENworks will recognize and use platforms A and B. However, if the custom_ostargets.xml file with platforms C and D is later imported using Server 2, ZENworks will only recognize platforms C and D, and it will no longer recognize platforms A and B. Hence, if ZENworks should recognize all platforms (A,B, C and D) the details of all these platforms should be included in the custom_ostargets.xml file. As a best practice, it is recommended that you use a single server to import the file.

When ZENworks natively supports a platform, that platform can be removed from the custom_ostargets. xml file.

This section provides information on:

2.1 Creating a custom_ostargets.xml File

Create a new custom_ostargets.xml file on the ZENworks Primary Server in the following location:

  • Windows Servers: %ZENWORKS_HOME%\conf\

  • Linux Servers: /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/

NOTE:For information on the content that needs to be included in the custom_ostargets.xml file, see Sample custom_ostargets.xml Files.

2.2 ostargets.xml Content Format

The content within the ostargets.xml file should be in the following format:

<ostargets>
  <ostarget>
     OS information for OS 1
  </ostarget>
  <ostarget>
     OS information for OS 2
  </ostarget>
  <ostarget>
     OS information for OS x...
  </ostarget>
</ostargets>

NOTE:For the OS-specific information of supported platforms, which needs to be included in the ostargets.xml file, see Sample custom_ostargets.xml Files.

Example

To create the ostargets.xml file for Windows 20H2 64-bit Professional and Windows 20H2 64-bit Enterprise edition operating systems, the file should contain the following content:

<ostargets>
  <ostarget>
        <name>windows10-2009-pro-gen-x64</name>
            <product_name>Windows 10 Professional x64 Version 20H2</product_name>            
        <platform>Windows</platform>
        <version>10.0.2009</version>
        <arch>x86_64</arch>
        <vendor>Microsoft</vendor>
        <support_pack>0</support_pack>
        <build_number>19042</build_number>
        <pkgmgr>msi</pkgmgr>
        <primary_role>Workstation</primary_role>
        <detect><![CDATA[<OSVersion substring="Windows 10 2009 64 Professional (Build 19042)" />]]></detect>
  </ostarget>
</ostargets>

<ostargets>
   <ostarget>
        <name>windows10-2009-ent-gen-x64</name>
            <product_name>Windows 10 Enterprise x64 Version 20H2</product_name>            
        <platform>Windows</platform>
        <version>10.0.2009</version>
        <arch>x86_64</arch>
        <vendor>Microsoft</vendor>
        <support_pack>0</support_pack>
        <build_number>19042</build_number>
        <pkgmgr>msi</pkgmgr>
        <primary_role>Workstation</primary_role>
        <detect><![CDATA[<OSVersion substring="Windows 10 2009 64 Enterprise (Build 19042)" />]]></detect>
  </ostarget>
</ostargets>

2.3 Adding an entry in the windowsVersionMapping.properties on Primary servers

This following entry is applicable only for Windows 10 21H1 or later or Windows 11 21H2 or later

IMPORTANT:On ZENworks 2020 Update 1, by default, the windowsVersionMapping.properties file will not be available. If the file is not available, then to get the file, ensure that you install either one of the following patches:

On Linux Primary Servers

Modify /etc/opt/novell/zenworks/windowsVersionMapping.properties by adding the following entry as per the Windows Operating System mentioned below:

  • Windows 10 21H2 / Windows 11 21H2

    21H2=2109

On Windows Primary Servers

Modify %ZENWORKS_HOME%\conf\windowsVersionMapping.properties by adding the following entry as per the Windows Operating System mentioned below:

  • Windows 10 21H2 / Windows 11 21H2

    21H2=2109

NOTE:Ensure that you do not delete any of the existing entries in the file.

2.4 Running the Configure Action

At the command prompt on the ZENworks Windows Server or a Linux console, run the following command:

novell-zenworks-configure -c ZoneConfigUpdateConfigureAction

As part of this configure action, a queue action is created for each Primary Server in the zone to update the contents of the ostargets.xml file with that of the custom_ostargets.xml file, which will be used by the agents during registration.

NOTE:If you have more than one Primary Server in the zone, you can create the custom_ostargets.xml file and run novell-zenworks-configure -c ZoneConfigUpdateConfigureAction from any of the Primary Servers. If the custom_ostargets.xml file has OS information that is already supported by ZENworks, it will not be added. The name and service pack combination will be used to determine whether the platform is unique or not. In case the custom_ostargets.xml includes platforms that are already supported by ZENworks, they will be displayed on the screen when the configure action runs.

2.5 Restart Loader Service

This following steps need to be performed only when you update the windowsVersionMapping.properties file with new entry as specified in the Adding an entry in the windowsVersionMapping.properties on Primary servers section.

Restarting the Loader Service on all Primary Servers

On Linux Primary Server

Perform the following steps to restart the loader server on Linux Primary Servers:

  1. On SLE12 and SLES 15 servers, stop the services using systemctl stop <service> command

    systemctl stop novell-zenloader.service

    systemctl start novell-zenloader.service

  2. For all other Linux Primary Servers (other than SLE12 and SLE15):

    /etc/init.d/novell-zenloader stop

    /etc/init.d/novell-zenloader start

On Windows Primary Server

On Windows Primary Server, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Start, click Run, and then type services.msc.

  2. Restart the Novell ZENworks Loader service on the server.

3.0 Cleaning up the Custom ostarget Entries

To clean up and delete custom added OS target entries you need to run the following configure action on the ZENworks Servers:

novell-zenworks-configure -c ZoneConfigUpdateConfigureAction -Dremove.custom.os.targets=true

4.0 Sample custom_ostargets.xml Files

This document includes examples of the custom_ostargets.xml files for the following platforms:

4.1 Windows

Using the following custom_ostargets.xml file you can install the ZENworks agent on the following platforms:

Windows 10, 20H2

For Windows 10 20H2, the following content should be added in the custom_ostargets.xml file:

<ostargets>
  <ostarget>
        <name>windows10-2009-ent-gen-x64</name>
            <product_name>Windows 10 Enterprise x64 Version 20H2</product_name>            
        <platform>Windows</platform>
        <version>10.0.2009</version>
        <arch>x86_64</arch>
        <vendor>Microsoft</vendor>
        <support_pack>0</support_pack>
        <build_number>19042</build_number>
        <pkgmgr>msi</pkgmgr>
        <primary_role>Workstation</primary_role>
        <detect><![CDATA[<OSVersion substring="Windows 10 2009 64 Enterprise (Build 19042)" />]]></detect>
  </ostarget>
</ostargets>

NOTE:To include the OS information of multiple platforms in the ostargets.xml file, refer to ostargets.xml Content Format for information on the content structure within the XML file.

You can also use the following examples to include specific versions of the Windows 10 20H2 platform:
