Migration of Zenworks NAL Objects to SCCM

Is there a documented migration path or tool to migrate Novell Zemworks NAL to SCCM?

Don't loose your time to search, there is NO way to migrate from NZ to ConfigMgr nor 2007 nor 2012. You should start from scratch.

  • Zen 6.5 NAL Object Push Mystery - Please help!

    I am a totally clueless about Novell and ZenWorks and can use some help from the forum community.
    We run Zen 6.5 and push down apps and icons to a large number of PCs that are used by patrons.
    For many years this all worked fine. But, since a few months ago we had an incredibly tough problem.
    From time to time, NAL Objects that are set to "run once" and have _not_ had their version change begin to push to the clients. For example, weeks ago we pushed a patch using a NAL object - this was set to run once and version is set to 0 and worked as expected. Yesterday, Zen started pushing the NAL objects to clients in the middle of the day (clients it had done weeks ago). There are numerous NAL objects for this patch job because we tie them to group and there are about 80 groups - many of the objects were pushed, not just one. If it were one, I would assume human error. Add to that that this has happened before with other NAL objects and I am super stumped.
    Is there any thing on the client side that would make it look like it is new to Zen? What else could be causing something like this?

    "Run Once" is a bit of a misnomer and does not work as most people expect.
    It is really "Run Once Per User Profile on Each Machine".
    It is not really run once on a give machine.
    Most folks really want it to push just once to the machine.
    To really make it run once per machine, you would need to include a
    System Requirement that checked something the app pushed like a reg key.
    You could even add your own reg key if you like.

  • Duplicate Computer objects in SCCM

    Hi,

  • Migrating AD Exchange 2013 Objects to a new AD Domain

    I have a client 'new company' (NC) who is splitting from the 'parent company' (PC).  They are using a 3rd party tool to conduct the AD migration/split.
     The PC AD domain is on Windows 2012 Servers and has trust relationship with the NC AD domain also running on windows 2012 server.  The users and computers have been successfully migrated/stubbed to the NC domain, however, the Exchange 2013 objects
    are not migrating over to the NC AD domain using the 3rd party AD migration tool.   
    Question, does any one have suggestions on how to migrate the exchange 2013 objects from the PC AD to the NC AD ?
    What techniques can be used ?
    Thanks in advance 
    RK

    What 3rd party tool are you using and have you contacted their support already? You can use the native tools to migrate mailboxes (I do all the time) but I wouldn't try and mix the native tools and a 3rd party tool on the same migration unless I was sure
    what the end result would be.

  • Migrating from ZENworks 7/Windows XP to ZCM 10/Windows7

    We are currently migrating all our workstations (600) from Windows XP to Windows 7.
    I made a scripted Windows 7 installation object which will install Windows 7 on the excisting Windows XP workstation without overwriting important user data.
    The ZCM script will not pick-up the imaging task since the ZISsector still contains ZENworks 7 data
    Tree-Name =
    Workstation Object =
    Once these values are deleted, or replaced by ZCM zone info the script will launch.
    What is the easiest way to set/remove the values for Tree-Name and Workstation Object?
    ZISwin Command line parameters?
    The ENGL tool "zisdctrl-2.0.0.4" should be able to do the job, but zisdctrl-2.0.0.4.zip is not available anymore (does somebody has a copy?)
    suggestions are welcome
    Regards,
    Wilco

    Figured it out....
    Configured my ZEN 7 server in the Server Referral List.
    Created a small scripted workstation image in ZEN7. The script converts the value of "Tree-Name" to the ZCM zone name and removes the value of "Workstation Object"
    After this ZCM imaging engine will pick up the work and deploy the Windows 7 image

  • Deleted computer object from SCCM console, so why is it still appearing in SSRS reports?

    We recently divested about 400 computers from our network. I got a list of these computers and deleted them from both Active Directory and in the SCCM Console. I know the deletes were successful because when I search via device name in the SCCM console
    they no longer show up. Yet when I run one of our inventory reports in SSRS I still see several of the devices that I deleted listed there. I thought SSRS represented a" live view" of the SCCM database. If that's true then how can a computer object
    that I deleted in the console still be present in the database? Is there something I'm missing? 

    Okay you are saying to select from v_R_System_Valid instead of v_R_System in my query and that will automatically filter out items I removed in the console? Okay that sounds like what I want, the only problem is my query is selecting form v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.
    Can I just add "_Valid" to the end of that and achieve the same result?
    Update - Yeah no I tried that and it did not work. Clearly I have a very limited understanding of the SQL views. Interestingly enough Torsten I see you posted a linbk on your blog to a new Microsoft article that documents the SQL views in SCCM 2012. Looking
    at it now...

  • Migrate to new domain and new SCCM

    The migration scenario is this:
    All Clients are in Domain1 and are managed through SCCM 2012 with System Center Endpoint Protection 2012.
    Some of the clients need to join a new domain and be managed through a new SCCM 2012 R2 server with System Center Endpoint Protection 2012 R2.
    There are no trusts between the forests. Do we need to uninstall the SCCM 2012 Agent and SCEP 2012 and then install the new SCCM 2012 R2 Agent and SCEP 2012 R2?
    Or can we just uninstall SCCM 2012 Agent only and keep SCEP 2012 and later install.

    There are multiple ways to go about it.
    Assuming that the AD forest is properly extended and the new site's info is properly published, then you can simply run a script:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc146558.aspx
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Change-sccm-configmgr-cf6e0327/view/Discussions
    If the two assumptions above aren't correct, then the client has no way of getting the trusted root key gracefully for the new site and running ccmsetup  is the best way.
    The ccmsetup bootstrapper will download files as needed from the closest DP but (from memory) won't redownload files if they are already present in the ccmsetup folder.
    A client push is probably the easiest method to initiate ccmsetup because it can be managed from a central location -- just make sure you select the checkbox for always reinstall. Of course, as mentioned above, if someone has previously used the "group
    policy" to assign the site to your clients, you'll need to clean up that mess first otherwise the clients will always try to assign to the old site.

  • Migrating Relational Model to Object-Relational Model

    Hi,
    Can someone direct me to appropriate tutorial/examples in migrating spatial relational model to object-relatonal model.
    I have the following tables in the relational model:
    ROADS
    ROADS_SDODIM
    ROADS_SDOGEOM
    ROADS_SDOINDEX
    ROADS_SDOLAYER
    What tables would I need to create in the object-relational model?
    Can someone advice me on how to use this function sdo_migrate.to_current?
    Thanks in advance!

    There are a number of Object Oriented databases out there, with Gemstone perhaps the best known. Also, Oracle, and other RDBMS vendors are adding more object oriented features all the time.
    However, there are some downsides to OO databases. One of the biggest is that it is often really difficult to query the data directly. All interaction with the database needs some sort of mapping layer to instantiate the objects and get their attributes. It is also difficult, and sometimes impossible, to generate ad hoc queries that try to look at the data in a way that does not match the object model, something that is relatively easy in a well designed relational model.
    Finally, object oriented databases represent a more or less one to one mapping to a currently popular programming paradigm. What happens to the data when the next great programming paradigm (foo perspective) comes along? Will the foo prgrammer be able to easily read the objects in the OO database? Probably not. Will the foo programmer be able to easily read the relational data? Almost certainly.

  • Print migration and old eDir object assoc. to manager

    I did a print migration from NW 6.5 SP7 to OES 2 SP1 linux. It said it completed but with errors. On first look, everything seemed fine. But now I found that if I manage the Print Manager and go into Printer Agents --> Tasks and look at the 'edir object name' some of the printers have the old printer name (i.e. printer_nw.printers.company). There were 21 printers migrated in this run and 4 have the _nw objects assigned to them. If I try to manage those printers I get an error saying "Invalid Object: The selected object is not a valid type for this property book. ". Whilst, the other printers (without the _nw) are fine. Also, I looked it consoleone all of the new printer objects have been created. It just seems that the manager has the old edir names assigned to some printers.
    I know I can just recreate those printers and thatd care of it, but Id rather not. Is there any way to change the "edir object name" in the manager that points to the printers?
    Thanks!

    hi,
    In iprint migration in order to create the iPrint Printer Object in the
    same context we have to rename the existing object. Sometime it happens
    that when we have renamed the objects and if you login to iManager
    iPrint Manager Print Manager it still shows the Older printer object.
    This is a typical problem of eDirectory not syncronized with other
    replicas. May if you would wait all the printer which you would have
    tried migrting would have been renamed to _nw in the same container.
    Please try migrating and ensure your replicas are in sync. It will work.
    The newer iPrint printer agent would have been created on the same
    container.
    thanks

  • Renaming deployed systems while retaining the Client object in SCCM

    After deploying a system, we re-name it from the default MININT-xxxxxxxx name, depending on which office the system will be going to.  Usually, this creates no issue in the SCCM 2012 R2 console, but sometimes we see systems which show as having "No"
    Client, but with the Last Status as "Complete".  We can wait for the AD, Network, and Heartbeat Discovery to re-discover the system, but sometimes even after a week, there's no change.  The systems are on the network (sleep, hibernate,
    & hybrid sleep are all disabled).  Manually right-clicking the client in the Devices view & selecting "Install Client" doesn't help.  Perhaps choose the option to "Uninstall existing Configuration Manager client before the
    client is installed" ?  We also see some "Unknown" computer objects which we delete.  Are these related to the re-naming the computers ?
    Thanks

    The object you are seeing is probably a stale one that doesn't match up to the actual one in the DB. You can always confirm this by matching client's GUID with the one in the console for the resource.
    Also, whenever you rename a system, always run a data discovery cycle on the client. This will update the corresponding resource in ConfigMgr (or create a new one). WHat is your heartbeat interval set at? I always recommend no less than once every day.
    How about naming the systems correctly in the first place though? All this takes is populating the OSDComputerName variable which can be done in many different ways.
