7.3 Installing the ConsoleOne Snap-ins

If you install the ZENworks Desktop Management Server to a NetWare or Windows server, the ZENworks Desktop Management snap-ins are installed to the appropriate location by default. If you installed the Desktop Management Server to a Linux server (that is, an OES or SLES 9 server), neither ConsoleOne nor the ZENworks snap-ins are installed to the server. You need to install ConsoleOne to the hard drive of the local Windows workstation where you will be administering ZENworks Desktop Management.

After you install ConsoleOne, you can obtain the snap-ins from the ZENworks 7 Companion 2 CD or from the Novell Download Web page. This section includes the following information:

7.3.3 Installing the Snap-Ins

Use the following instructions to install the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management snap-ins from the temporary directory where you either downloaded or copied the snap-in .zip file.

  1. Complete Section 7.3.1, Downloading the Snap-Ins or Section 7.3.2, Copying the Snap-Ins.

  2. Make sure the instance of ConsoleOne that you want to update is not running.

  3. Unzip the snap-in .zip file to a temporary location. Copy the contents of the folder in thetemporary location to the directory where ConsoleOne is installed on the workstation.

    By default, ConsoleOne is installed in the ...\consoleone\1.2 directory. Do not omit the \1.2 part of the path when you specify where to extract the .zip file.

    IMPORTANT:You must extract the snap-in .zip file to the ConsoleOne_installation directory, or the snap-ins will be copied to the wrong directory structure and will not work. For example, you might have installed ConsoleOne to a different directory path than ...\consoleone\1.2.

  4. If you are prompted to overwrite existing files of the same name in the destination directories, choose Yes to All, regardless of differences in file dates.

  5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for each instance of ConsoleOne that you want to update.
