ZPM 6.4 to ZPM 11
We have a standalone ZPM Server (Version: 6.4.2.1592) and want to upgrade to 11 before January. I opened a support ticket asking support what are the best practices for the upgrade and got an answer that guided me to the Zenworks 11 documentation. The only information I got out of it was that 6.4 can't be upgraded to 11. The question is, what do I do, start over? Do I then have to get a new server activation code and re-apply all the licenses? Am I missing something? -- diggleburnz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Digglebu...

Migrating from ZPM 6.4 SP2 Update 4 to ZPM 11
Greetings, Our enterprise is running a standalone installation of Zenworks Patch Management v6.4 SP2 Update 4 on a Windows 2003 R2 server with a mixture of v6.4.2.420 agents on XP machines and v6.4.2.504 agents on Win7 machines, all within an Active Directory domain. We do understand that Zenworks Patch Management v11 (we intend to migrate to the standalone product, not the Zenworks 11 suite) is a complete rip-and-replace for ZPM v6.4 SP2u4. As we have 1700+ machines, it goes without saying that we want to proceed carefully and properly during the migration. Our main focus is...

Hello, We are currently running the Agent version: Client Agent: 6.4.2.253 Detection Agent: 6.4.2.253 Patch Management Server: 6.4.2.1378 Control Panel: 6.4.2.253 Notification Manager: 6.4.2.252 If i deploy the new patch: "C - ZENworks Patch Management Agent Upgrade for Windows from 6.0 or higher to 6.4.2.378" it is installed fine (status: green), but after a reboot of this workstation the Client Agent is not changed and still 6.4.2.253. I checked GravitixService.exe and DAgent.exe, and these versions are still 6.4.2.253. So why is...

ZPM 6.4 patching SLES
Someone has bought ZPM 6.4, to patch SLES servers. How is the patch stream for SLES? Beyond what you would have gotten out of Yast's Online Update from a repository, how much else does it offer? Geoffrey, automation, I guess - and Novell would prefer you to use ZLM :) You know you have to buy special licences to use ZPM with Linux/Unix? -- Shaun Pond Shaun Pond wrote: > Geoffrey, > > automation, I guess - and Novell would prefer you to use ZLM :) You > know you have to buy special licences to use ZPM with Linux/Unix?

Recently rebuilt our ZPM server from scratch (it's at version 6.4.2.1549 currenlty) and came across something a bit strange. The following vuln. is listed for the ZPM server: B - Novell ZENworks Patch Management Agent 6.4 SP2 Server Side Update (QFE) (See Notes) (Rev 2) Yet when you walk through the deployment wizard it shows the following name for this patch: B - Novell ZENworks Patch Management Agent 6.4 SP1b Server Side Update Is this a typo in the packaging of the patch or is the patch not what it appears to be? I'm a little hesitant to apply it to the server ...

4.11 to 6.5 Upgrade #4
What is the process for a 4.11 to 6.5 sp5 (overlay) upgrade ? The server has DS 6.21 Is the upgreade run by booting to the CD or mounting the CD volume and running the install from nwconfig ? Steve -- You can try the following procedure: http://support.novell.com/docs/Tids/Solutions/10090315.html You should however be aware that starting with OES (e.g. Nw 6.5 SP3), this procedure is no longer officially supported. -- Marcel Cox http://support.novell.com/forums OK, so I'm clear on this - do a remote upgrade (nwdeploy) and if that fails, perform a downed serv...

Patched 6.5.4 with 6.5.6 but agents are still running 6.5.4
I recently attempted to patch GroupWise 6.5.4 with the most recent patch 6.5.6. After the update finished, I restarted the server, checked all agents and noticed that they all were still running version 6.5.4. However, the first time that I attempted the patch, and I got to the end of the installation, I chose the option to automatically update the startup files, and to start the PO and the Domain (after clicking finish). When the domain and the PO started on the server (after I clicked on finish), they where running 6.5.6, but when I restarted the server and checked the ver...

Upgrading 4.11, ds6.11 to NW 6.5
Im preparing to upgrade my nw4.11 servers to 6.5. First I'm upgrading ds to the required version (6.21). I followed the installation instructions for ds 6.21 and when I run DSrepair v4.73 and choose Advanced Options | Global Schema Operations | Post Netware 5 Schema Update, I get a log that says "This server does not have a writable replica of root". Also, when I unload and load ds (after installing the new ds files), I get an error that says "check guid status failed -618" Any ideas? danny_arroyo@interep.com wrote: > I followed the installati...

Upgrading from NW 6.0 to 6.5 and Zenworks 4
I have Zenwork 4.0.1 for desktops running on a cluster Netware 6.0 SP4 server and we are looking to upgrade to Netware 6.5. Are there any issues I should be aware of??
