What do I need to run ZWPatch Mgmt? #2
Morning, Very interested in this, but I have a load of questions: I have a eDir 8.7 tree with Zenworks for desktops 4.01 in it running on three NW6.5 boxes. I realise a Win2k Server box is necessary, but will the product install into that environment, or must I have Zenworks 6.5 too? Secondly, I have about 100 Zenworks-registered workstations in the tree, but an additional $BIGNUM (two 510 subnets' worth) of personal machines. I'd like to open the Patch management up to them too, is this possible without installing the ZfDa or Client32 on each workstation? Cheers, -- James Dore, IT Officer, New College james.dore@new / it-support@new

I was where you are a couple of weeks ago in trying to understand the relationship with other Novell products. Well, there is no relationship. I am in the process of testing this in our lab. To my surprise it is not reliant on any previous Novell products or directory service. It is a completely separate product. You install the software on a server with IIS and install the agents on the other PC's or servers. The IIS server goes out to Patchlink.com and keeps a log of available patches. The other servers that have they agent installed on them are inventoried so ou can see if any of the pathces need to be installed. You select the patch from the IIS server and it will download the patch from patchlink.com and install it on the servers or workstations that you select. I had my best success with the eval when I built a 2003 server from scratch and installed the software. I hope the helps you.

Thanks for this - very useful. How are you finding the product to use? Does anyone know what the upgrade plans are for this - if we buy the IIS version but one for Apache/Netware is released, is it likely to be difficult to upgrade?

So, far I am finding it simple to use once I overcame a couple of installation quirks. Nothing major. I was able to find a resolution on Patchlinks forum. So far so good. One of co-workers was evalutating MS patch product and he couldn't find a way to stop a system from rebooting if the patch required it. I have seen an option that you can change to prevent a system from rebooting with this product. So, that is a big help. I did see some talk about sometime in the future they will be offering a Linux version and perhaps an Apache version. But, I think that is a going to be a while. > In article <WPtoc.9027$Ob.6922@prv-forum2.provo.novell.com>, > tchristi@gbmc.org says... > > I was where you are a couple of weeks ago in trying to understand the > > relationship with other Novell products.

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 ...

Running ZENworks in 2 servers!!
I am currently running zenworks 7.0 on OES Netware 6.5 sp5. I had an idea of running two servers and divide the tasks of each server, meaning I have one server that is taking care of the remote management, WOL service, everything except imaging. The other server is just for imaging running the imaging service and everything. Everything is running smoothly except when I try to setup a multicast or even give an imaging job to an individual workstation, when booting from PXE, it comes with an IP address, but it doesn't get the job to do. I don't know if the setup I am ...
