Moving ZENworks for Desktops 6.5.2ir1 to new hardware

Im preparing to move my NetWare 6.5 server with ZENworks for Desktops 6.5.2ir1 to new hardware.
The recommended way for NetWare is to make use of the Migration Wizard but Im worried about the post tasks, which are mentioned in the documentation. I should reinstall ZENworks as product after the migration and then recover the old configuration. What would be the best way to do so?
And is the Migration Wizard the best tool to move to new hardware for ZENworks or are there better alternatives?
Thanks a lot!
Armand.

Hello,
How did you get on with this? I have been thinking about doing something similar for some time now, but have always been nervous of doing so.
We have PCounter, Printing, SYS/PUBLIC mapping, and ZfD 6.5 running on 1 server, and I would like to just move ZfD to a seperate server.
Can you point me in the direction of the documentation you speak of for migrating ZfD 6.5 ???
cheers,

Zenworks for Desktops 3.2 Sp3

I am running Novell SBS 6.0 sp4 that also has the Zenworks for Desktops
3.2 on it. I updated all of our workstations to Novell Client 4.83 sp3
and now the application Launcher does not work. According to TID10082221 I
need to install Sp3 for Zenworks. Unfortunatly I did not do the original
install of Zenworks and was wondering what should I be aware of and if
there are any installation do/don'ts?
Just wondering,

Thank you for the information, I will try that. As for the service pack
update is it easy to do or do I really have to know what I am doing? I am
winging this Novell stuff so far, but learning a lot as I go along.

Suspend MDT, Sysprep for disk cloning, and resume with new hardware failure.

I am able to successfully Sysprep for disk cloning after pausing the Deployment (via LTISuspend). The problem is when I attempt to resume the Deployment after duplicating the hard drive and placing in new hardware it fails immediately stating that it cannot
open the TSENV.DAT (80090005). It works fine if you resume in the identical hardware it was built in.
The hardware is identical for all computers receiving the cloned drive with the Mac Address, Serial Number, and UUID being different.
Knowing that the TSENV.DAT is encrypted, is there a way to prep it for minor hardware (mac address, uuid, and serial number only) change prior to pausing and sysprep so it does not fail?
Using MDT 2012 and Windows 7 OS.
Thanks

Let me add to what Mr. Owen described.
We have a complex MDT. It has been used for years for a globally scaled corporate desktop.
What we are looking to do to is sysprep this machine 3/4 of the way through the process, clone the drive, and then use the cloned drive on like hardware models (we used PersistDrivers in the Unattend).
I initially ran sysprep outside of the MDT. It ran successfully, however when we moved the syspreped (and cloned) drive to another hardware of identical type we got the error Mr Owen mentioned. What we hoped would happen if we called Sysprep from
the MDT directly is the TSENV would be cleaned/updated to remove any workstations specific identifiers and thus eliminate the error.

Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers

Product: Zenworks for Desktops 7Sp1 and Zenworks For Server/TED 7Sp1HP5
Subject: Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers ,
all on Linux
Description: We have an exiting environment with 6 ZfS Servers and now we
brought up a new Server for another location. I configured all same as on
the other Server and the new one created all NAL-Apps at the new location.
But in the Application Site list on the golden App is this Application
missing. So I clicked on the Link up site list on the Distribution Screen
in C1. On ApplicationSite list the App from the new location is missing.
So I removed all and added the new from the new location and now i see all
in the application site list.When I install an app on the client on the
new location NAL is connecting alway th the same (wrong location-server
and i get an msi error 1612 or id=53272 with path=\Wrong serverpath to
file.
I looked on the other tab on C1 at the golden app an I see the backlinks
are going to all other servers without the new one. Software installation
on other locations are ok

Andreas,
I forgot to mention that you can also set the loging level on the Distributor and the Subscriber to 6. to do this at the Zenworks Server Management prompt type "setconsolelevel 6" if you want to capture this to the log file ted.log then use "setfilelevel 6"
Next delete the Distribution from the Subscriber and then re-push the channel.
What we are looking for here in the log is the creation of the object and the linking information about the gold object. it should look like this (not the failure part ;-))) )
In this excerpt you will see the entry
Golden App =
This should be were the link is to
You can check this both ways in the Golden App and in the Distributed Application.
Here is a log from me that shows this info as an example of what you should be looking for.

Zenworks for Windows 7 desktop management

Hi there,
I have a Novell Engineer coming in to do my install my Novell Open Enterprise file server in a few days. He told me to download Zenworks so it can be installed afterwards. Though when I looked, I see a version 7 and 10 for Zenworks. Though version 10 doesn't seem to do with desktop management?
Our old file server is running version 4 of Zenworks, and along with our file server upgrade we are planning to move our workstations to Windows 7.
Is version 7 of Zenworks the latest version that I will need for desktop management and enforcing various desktop policies on Windows 7 pc's?
I also would like to use Zenworks imaging for cloning, does version 7 (or whichever one is current) support Windows 7 imaging?
Thanks.

Thanks for the info. So will ZCM 10 do the similar desktop management and imaging that Zen7 and my older version 4 does? Just do it in a different way?

I moved my itunes media from one external hard drive to another. How do I change the shortcut on my desktop to open to the new external hard drive?

Ok, so i originally installed itunes on an external hard drive (G drive) and not my PC. So my itunes runs completely from my external and that how I like it. Well over time it got full so I bought and moved all my media over to a bigger 2TB external hard drive (D drive). I verified that all the media (music, movies, tv show etc) are all on the new drive and everything points to it. However the itunes shortcut on my desktop still points to the G drive external. If I unplug it and try to open itunes it gives me an error. So I have to keep the G external drive plugged in just to launch itunes and then use my new D external to get the media. How the heck do I change that? I tried moving the itunes.exe file over to the new drive but that didnt work. I want it to run exclusively off the new D external. Please Help Me!!! I am using Win 7 if that helps.

My DeDuper script is designed to help clean up. See this thread for background.

Creative Cloud for Desktop app Launch at login (solved)

I’ve had an issue with Creative Cloud for Desktop app (using Windows 8.1 Update 1 x64) – regardless of what has been set on my Preferences > General Tab > Launch at login, my app didn’t start at logon (system startup).
I’ve tried:
uncheck the ‘Launch at login’ option (Preferences > General Tab). Restart PC. Launch the CC app, check ‘Launch at login’. Restart. Didn’t help.
uncheck the ‘Launch at login’ option (Preferences > General Tab). Restart PC. Remove the startup Key from registry stored under: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]. Restart. Launch the CC app, check ‘Launch at login’. Restart. Didn’t help.
reinstall Creative Cloud for desktop app. Didn’t help.
rename the OPM.db file (as described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/apps-panel-reflect-creative-cloud.html). Didn’t help.
Finally - since the CC app is actually and x86 application - I’ve moved the startup entry from the x64 Run Key [Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] into the common x86 [Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run].
Simply:
a. Remove:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Adobe Creative Cloud"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Creative Cloud\\ACC\\Creative Cloud.exe\" --showwindow=false --onOSstartup=true"
a. Create:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Adobe Creative Cloud"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Creative Cloud\\ACC\\Creative Cloud.exe\" --showwindow=false --onOSstartup=true"
And you know what? it woooorks!!! Now my app starts with windows!
I'm sharing this in case someone else has run into the same problem.

I am an Admin User although I would install using Run As Admin
64 bit Dell Laptop
Windows 8.1 - update
Windows Firewall
Kaspersky Anti-virus - not tried turning off but will do so and respond
All my programs have downloaded, installed and are still working (Muse, Photoshop, etc.)
Not installed any hardware since registering for Adobe, but have installed Articulate Studio 13, and also Articulate Storyline
Originally received an update for the desktop app, which failed to install
Tried repeatedly (including turning off firewall) but no luck
Uninstalled the desktop app - after following a link in one of the forums
downloaded the new desktop app - installed - perfect
Other application updates installed perfectly, including the big update for Muse to 64 bit
Most recent update for desktop app failed to install, so tried the above, removed the desktop app, but cannot now find the link to the new version to download.
Hopefully just need to find the download link to the desktop app, but travelling at present so do not get enough time to surf to locate it :-(

Alternatives to using Zenworks for Roaming Profiles

Novell support tells me I should be using a dedicated Server for Zenworks
This would be a real over kill!
So, are there any alternatives to using Zenworks for Roaming profiles?
Googeling I see SAMBA can support Roaming Profiles
Samba is installed & I created Samba users via SBE Admin but when I select
Samba Administration - seems to be no details ie. users, workgroup name etc?
Is Novell Samba differently?
Is it possible setup Roaming Profiles with Novell Samba?

I'm gonna attempt this with a couple of scripts - (one added to login script
& the other at shutdown)
to copy Desktop & Favorites - already told users they will be shot if the
they put files in my docs!
(It would be nice to do Desktop Colour / Image etc so the user feels at home
but...)

Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

Why do items disappear when moved to the desktop?

Are you perhaps referring to dragging an item out of the Dock and onto the Desktop?
If so, they are intended to poof-disappear when you do that.
The reason - the icons shown in the Dock are a form of alias, not the real item. Any running app will have its icon shown there; and those that do appear there can be made to stick even when the program is quit. This means that there must be a mechanism to get rid of them, else there would eventually be too many. One way is to right-click or Control-click the item, then select Remove from the popup menu that appears. A more convenient way is to just drag them off of the Dock and have them disappear.
If you want to replace an item on the Dock, just drag the item to the Dock, wait for the items already there to make room for it, then drop it onto the Dock. Apps can only be placed to the left of the vertical dashed line; folders can only be placed between the dashed line and the Trash.

Saving/moving photos to Desktop

Hi,
I went and moved some photos last night to my desktop so that I could use them in an email as file attachments, and now when I don't want the photos on my desktop any longer and toss them in the recycle bin, the photos turn up missing on my PE Organizer. I've tried renaming the photos, moving them back into Organizer (says the photos are already in Organizer), and nothing works. What is the proper way (other than using the share way in Organizer to send via email) to put photos on the desktop w/o losing them in Organizer once I no longer need them on the desktop? Thanks for your help!

Hi, Thanks for your input, but that didn't solve my problem with trying to get rid of the moved files on my desktop.
I've tried 'exporting' the 15 photos to my desktop- instead of 'moving' them to my desktop- and they came up with the added hyphen -1; -2 etc. to the photos, because of the other 15 photos I moved there. Again, when I delete the photos that I 'moved' from my desktop to the Recycle Bin - I get the 'missing file' in my Organizer. I've exported other photos the way you described to the desktop - no problem when I deleted them to the Recycle Bin- they still are in my Organizer. It has something to do with the fact that I 'moved' those 15 photos instead of exporting them to the desktop. I have renamed them on the desktop and in the export mode, and that doesn't help. It still comes up wanting me to keep those moved files on my desktop. Any other ideas? I would just consider deleting the photos, but they are of my granddaughter eating strawberries- and are so cute. Thanks.

Is Zenworks for handhelds required for Tablet pcs??

Hi, can anyone assist with information regarding Tablet pcs and the use
of Zenworks for handhelds.
We are currently using zenworks 6.5 for managing desktop pcs, one of our
departments have bought a number of Tablet pcs running WINDOWS XP TABLET
PC EDITION.
Can we use the current zenworks policies setup for the desktop pcs with
the TABLET PC's or do we need to install the ZENWORKS FOR HANDHELDS
component to manage the TABLET PC's.
regards
Dennis

My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away. Any ideas how to retrieve it?

My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer. Any ideas how to retrieve it? Thanks.

I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.

I am trying to install Creative Cloud app for Desktop and it's shutting down

Trying to install the Creative Cloud app for Desktop but every time I try the Adobe Application Manager shuts itself every time. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
If it is automatically installed, where do I find it? I don’t think it has installed because the Application Manager shuts itself so fast every time.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply.
I went into Applications> Utilities but there is no Adobe Installers folder or icon there for me to do anything with. I went back to my Adobe account front page and tried to download Illustrator again seeing as it hasn’t installed but when Application Manager tries to open (the little spinning icon) it spins about 3 times before I get a pop up saying that Adobe Application Manager has failed to open. This happens every time I attempt to download Illustrator. Any other options for what might be the issue?
Thanks again!
