Patchlink vs Zenworks Patch Management
Like most you I quickly found out that ZPM was just a lite version of Patchlink. I then contacted them and after some review I can assure you all that Patchlink is better: -better support -more up to date product and definately CHEAPER (not going to go in details on that, ask your Patchlink rep) I really dont see any valide point at going with ZPM over Patchlink Interesting.. How did you come to the conclusion that ZPM is a lite version? Pricing: If you are an existing Novell customer then the price is usually less expensive from Novell. MLA, CLA, VLA, ALA discounts ...

Zenworks Patch Management/PatchLink 6.4
This weekend I updated out 6.3 system to the 6.4 software and everything seems to be working fine, except I can't find a package/vulnerabilities that shows the new agent (6.4.2.245) to be installed. Currently most of my agents are at 6.3.2.858. My Subscription Service History shows vulnerabilities/licenses/packages status as all complete and successful is True. I can install the new agent manually without problem. Anybody have any ideas what to try next? Pat, It appears that in the past few days you have not received a response to your posting. That concerns us, a...

Patches, patches, patches...
To forestall potential incidents of Warnock's Dillemma... I'm about to apply a whole heap 'o patches to Parrot. (With appropriate [APPLIED] responses, I hope) If, at the end of the day, I have *not* applied or commented on a patch you've sent, it means I've Officially Missed It, so give another try. Sorry 'bout this. Too much mail in the mailbox, and going back in time is tricky, as it can miss subsequent discussions on patches 'n stuff. -- Dan --------------------------------------"it's like th...

Where are the ZENworks Patch Management server patches at?
According to this URL: http://www.novell.com/support/dynamickc.do?externalId=3540830&sliceId=SAL_Public&command=show&forward=nonthreadedKC&kcId=3540830 ZENworks Patch Management Patch 5 is out....I must be way behind because I still have the base product installed. Where are these patches at? I cannot seem to find any of them on Novell's website. Applying these patches could very well fix my issue with my server not being able to contact novell.patchlinksecure.net as well as the issue we are having regarding the Discovery Agent using vast amounts of client CPU...

Compression Custom Patch Zenworks Patch Management
Hello, Please I am testing Custom Patch ZPM 6.4, My problem is I don't know how many compress file. Please someone knows this, Please tell me. Regardess Ricardo Seris Guerra -- Ricardo_Seris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ricardo, are you asking how to compress your files? In a custom package you would have to do this yourself, perhaps use winzip to compress, then use a script to decompress at the workstation. To make this automatic, you would need to buy the PDK (Patch Development Kit) -- Shaun Pond ...

Patches, patches, patches... #2
OK, this is advance warning that I'm about to be reposting a bunch of patches of mine which appear to have succumbed to Warnock's Dilemma. The first three should be uncontroversial: there's a documentation fix-up for core.ops, and new tests for strings and stacks. The last one is rather larger, and consists of a greatly expanded set of tests for PerlString's, plus a bunch of bug-fixes. I'd be grateful if Jeff or Dan could take a look at this, as I have the feeling that a lot of the scalar PMCs are going to need similar fixes. Simon ...

ZDM7 SP1 Hot Patch (ZENworks 7 Desktop Managment SP1 Hot Patch 1)
The hotpatch has resolved my Optiplex GX745 boot issue, however I would like to throw out some observations. We have a script that reads the Image Safe Data and these are the changes I have notices. `zisview Name` used to return the PC name value from the image safe data, now it has changed to `zisview ComputerName` `zisview Wrokgroup` used to return the workgroup value from the image safe data, now it has changed to `zisview WindowsWrokgroup` is the purpose of changing these attribute names a path forward for something in the future? On another note, can anyone who has ...

ZENworks Patchlink issue...
Would anyone be able to help with the following??? We currently use patchlink to deploy patches to approximatly 1800 PC's. We did have the patches required assigned as mandatory baselines however reading various posts, news letters etc the patches should be deployed using Group Deployments. I have created a package, which is fine, however because we have machines added all the time they dont automatically get the deployments I have created as they where added to the User group we have after the scheduled start time of the deployment!

Does PatchLink alter Microsoft patches?
A number of people in our shop are concerned that patches installed via PatchLink are somehow causing computers to slow down. This happens particularly on a Dell Precision 690. If we install Windows XP SP2 with all patches coming directly from Windows Update, the system does not slow down. In this scenario, PatchLink is not installed on the system. But, if we use PatchLink to patch the same kind of computer starting with just Windows XP SP2, after patches, the system is noticeably slower. A long time ago, we noticed that on this system, if we used PatchLink's version of XP SP2...
