Upgrading the zenworks management agent

Hi,
We want to upgrade the zenworks management agent to version 4 ir6. What
is the best way to do this?
Is it possible to upgrade or do we have to uninstall and then reinstall
the newer version?
We have around 2500 and some users have restricted permissions.
We are running
Zenworks for Desktop 4 on
Netware 6 sp3

Normally you can just upgrade on top and it doesn't cause problems.
Since the install is a MSI, the rights will be elevated automatically.
The only time I wouldn't upgrade over-top is if you are running the
original setup.exe agent. If you are running 4.0.1.4 then you are fine.

SO I am getting a strange error when trying to access the FIM Management Agents

Hi Everyone,
So I am getting a really odd error when I go to FIM --> Management Agents -->MOSS-guid ID right click on that and choose porperties, then Configure Connection Information, then I click OK and I get this pop up error "the type of 'pictureurl' string
is not compatible with the type of 'sps_mv_octelstring_pictureurl'. I got here by noticing that in the error log there was an error that said:
The management agent "MOSS-guid ID" failed on run profile "MOSS_EXPORT_Guid ID" because the server encountered errors.
when I searched on that error, it lead me to a ton of blogs that said to do the following:go to FIM --> Management Agents -->MOSS-guid ID right click on that and choose porperties, then Configure Connection Information at the bottom of the page there
is a Connect To field and every blog I read said to change it to direct:{Domain}:{Port}. The thing is that my domain and port were fine, so that is when I clicked ok, and got that error message. Ever since this happened, my FIM has been broken, and I really
can't figure out why???
So I haven't done any updates to the server in at least a year, so nothing could be happening there.
Any help at all with this would be taken with the greatest appreciation.
Best regards, Mike

What you're doing is unsupported. You need to manipulate the MAs via Central Admin -> Manage Service Applications, find your UPA SA and manage it. You can then Manage User Properties and make changes to the Picture property from here.

Try deleting the workstation object and reboot the workstation (sometimes
a 2nd reboot is required).

Where do I find the workstation management agent?

I used to install this through the old client, but now it appears it is
no longer included in the client. Where can I find an installer for
this so I can add it to workstations that have the newest client?
Thanks!

It's also located in sys:\public\zenworks\zfdagent\english\
As Steve said, zenworks 4 and later has the NAL files separated from the
Novell client.

Desktop Management Agents Upgrade

Hi,
Eventually in a few months I'll be upgrading our current student server at
the High School I work at from Netware 6 and Zenworks 4.01 ir6 to Netware
6.5 and Zenworks 6.5.
Each of the computers connected to the student server have a Zen partition
installed for imaging purposes and all the up to date desktop management
agents.
If I update from Zenworks 4 to Zenworks 6.5 without updating the Desktop
Management Agent to Zenworks 6.5, will the imaging, remote control, policy
packages, NDPS printing not work anyomre or will it all still work even
though the Zenworks version is 6.5 but all the computers have Desktop
Management Agents 4.01 ir6? I would like to update to Zenworks 6.5 and
slowly update the Desktop Management Agents(from Zen 4 Desktop Management
Agents to Zen 6.5 Desktop Management Agents) in each computer lab over
time, but if it's going to effect the imaging server policy, user policy
packages, remote control, NDPS printing etc... I'll have to plan the
upgrade over the summer time.
Thanks for your time!

Zenworks 7 Agent Upgrade Breaks Windows XP User Profiles

We have been having an intermittent problem since upgrading from the
Zenworks 4 agent to Zenworks 7 on our XP desktops. Users have been
reporting that their profiles are not loading on login and the error
message appears:
"Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this
error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If
this problem persists, contact your network administrator."
Examination of the event log yields the following errors in this order:
Event ID 1508:
Windows was unable to load the registry. This is often caused by
insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.
Event ID 1502:
Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this
error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If
this problem persists, contact your network administrator.
Event ID 1515:
Windows has backed up this user's profile. Windows will automatically try
to use the backed up profile the next time this user logs on.
Event ID: 1511:
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a
temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you
log off.
Event ID 1517:
Windows saved user <user name> registry while an application or service
was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the
user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it
is no longer in use. This is often caused by services running as a user
account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService
or NetworkService account.
Our systems are running Windows XP SP2 with the latest patches and Novell
Client 4.90 SP2. We did not encounter this problem when we were using
the Zenworks 4 agent. The only recent change we have made to the
environment is the upgrade to Zenworks 7. Therefore it appears that in
our case, the Zenworks 7 agent is the cause. The issue has not occurred
on every PC yet, however every day it seems that we get more and more
calls regarding this issue. Some users report that a reboot will fix the
problem while other users have seen a more persistent occurrence. For
the time being, we are installing UPHClean on the affected machines per
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;837115 However,
we need more testing to see if this will actually resolve the problem.
Furthermore, our objective is to determine why this issue has presented
itself after the Zenworks upgrade and what we can do from the Novell
perspective to fix it. Is there a possibility that Zenworks 7 agent is
not allowing these profiles to open? Could the upgrade to Zenworks 7
negatively impacted user profiles on these systems?
We performed the upgrade on a number of test systems without issue. We
pushed the Zenworks 7 MSI via a NAL object. The MSI essentially removed
Zenworks 4 and installed version 7.
Any help with this issue is appreciated.
Thanks.

There is a good chance that UPHClean will resolve your issue.
The main issue is that most likely the profiles are not fully unloading
correctly and causing the reload to not work correctly.
The cause for the profiles sticking open are many and sort of why MS has
created the tool.
If the tool does not help, we can try and troubleshoot more.

SCOM 2012 R2 UR4 upgrade question - where exactly is the UNIX/Linux agent?

I am practicing the UR4 on a test |SCOM environment (my first upgrade) and our UNIX Admins have requested the "UNIX/Linux agent" so they can create packages to upgrade the UNIX/Linux agents when the time comes.
I have downloaded all the UR4 updates/software. Where exactly is the agent for UNIX/Linux machines?
I opened the "Update Rollup 4 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Operations Manager Agent (KB2992020)" folder and I saw the following agents:
amd64-agent.msp
i386-agent.msp
Are one of these the UNIX/Linux agents?
I know I'm overlooking something here since this is my first time. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
After deploy UR4: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2992020

When should ZEN Management agent be installed

I use a standard image that is pushed out with ZEN imaging. This contains
the ZEN Management agent as part of the build. Therefore, there are a few
areas in the registry (under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Workstation Manager) that are specific
to the machine that the image was built on. Primarily of concern are the
following two strings:
STRFileName="00B0D069CF85_1105073267000"
SystemGUID="00B0D069CF85172.22.175.1371105073290"
Any PC that gets this image will therefore get these same registry
strings, and this causes errors on the inventory side of things. I have
tried a combination of deleting these keys and / or their values with no
luck, as "STRFileName" and "SystemGUID" do not recreate or repopulate with
data from the new PC. Therefore in order to get the PC working with
inventory, I need to remove the management agent, and then reinstall and
then all works fine (as these keys are repopulated with data specific to
the local PC, and not the PC the image was created on).
Question: Does this mean that in future my images should not include the
management agent (i.e. it is a post install step), or is there a way
around this problem?
Thanks

I found that when the management agent is installed, the following
relevent entries are placed in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Workstation Manager]
"Registration Agent"="zenwsreg.dll"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Workstation Manager\InvScanner]
@=""
"ScannerPath"="C:\\Program
Files\\Novell\\ZENworks\\Inventory\\NTScan32.exe"
Rebooting creates additional registry entries in this area, even when
logging in as 'workstation only', and these new entries contain specific
information about the PC. Ensuring that any image I use contains only the
above registry settings (and not any additional ones) means that the
workstation specific entries are generated correctly (when the newly
imaged PC is first booted up) and all works fine. To do this I used a bit
of vbscript as part of the image build, and this is the last thing done
prior to shutting down the PC and creating the ZEN Image.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Workstation
Manager\PredesktopHelperDLLs]
"WMPM.DLL"="WMPM.DLL"
"WMPOLHLP.DLL"="WMPOLHLP.DLL"
"WMPRTNT.DLL"="WMPRTNT.DLL"
"WMUSPOL.DLL"="WMUSPOL.DLL"
"WMGRPPOL.DLL"="WMGRPPOL.DLL"

Zenworks Adaptive Agent conflicting with ZENNTSRV.EXE?

Good morning - We are running Zenworks 2 on Windows 2000 (don't laugh) across several thousand workstations, with the Novell Client 4.90 SP2 upgraded from 4.83 SP3. That part of it works fine.
I have pushed out the Zenworks Adaptive Agent version 10.1.0.0 to all workstations to install upon login in order to get a handle on exactly what we have out there on machines that are not compatible with our new ZCM 10.1 installation.
Herein lies the rub - not every time, but with increasing coincidence we are seeing ZENNTSRV.EXE crashing with a The instruction at "0x77fcae88" referenced memory at "0xfffffffd". The memory could not be "read". message at the point at which the Zenworks Adaptive Agent starts commences its installation.
Once the Zenworks Adaptive Agent is installed, we have noticed the crash. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this, or what suggestions you guys could make to get around this at the user end.

Thanks for the reply. I did not make it clear that I intend to keep Zenworks 2 on our Windows 2000 machines and use the inventory-only agent on that platform.
The inventory-only agent from ZCM 10.1 is happy to coexist with Zenworks 2, but on a significant number of machines we find that this crash occurs. It does seem to be the 4.90 SP2 clients only.

Differenes between Solution Manager Agent SMD/DAA

Hello all,
we are have a Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 SP 21 running. When I checked the Documentation for the Solution Manager Agent I found two possible SMD Agents
- SMD Solution Manager Diagnostic
- DAA Diagnostic Agent
In my opinion the difference between the two Agents is only that SMD ist based in NW 7.0 and DAA is based in NW7.11.
Is this right? Or are there any other differences?
Thanks for your help

Hello all,
This is interesting - as we are currently upgrading the SolMan to SP23.
- is it ok to continue using SMD (7.0) with SolMan SP23, or is it recommended to upgrade to DAA (7.11)?
- are there any experiences on SMD (7.0) versus DAA (7.11)?
- at what point, under what circumstance, is one forced to upgrade from SMD to DAA?
Thanks,
Peter

Installing oracle management agent 12.1.0.2.0 in silent mode.

version: 12.1.0.2.0
platform: IBM Aix power systems 64bit
I installed the oracle management service along with the oracle management agent that comes along with the the first installation. I deinstalled the first installed OMA and tried to install it again using the silent install mode with the response file.
(oms host and the oma host are the same)
among the 3 modes of silent install described in the installation guide, i used agent deploy method.
Here are the steps i followed with the install
1. this the status of my OMS
<oracle>chh-aix-beta/oem12c/product/oms/bin> ./emctl status oms -details

Getting list of platforms ...
Check the logs at /oem12c/product/gc_inst/em/EMGC_OMS1/sysman/emcli/setup/.emcli/agent.log
About to access self-update code path to retrieve the platforms list..
Getting Platforms list ...
Version = 12.1.0.2.0
Platform = IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)
Platforms list displayed successfully.3. I downloaded the management agent software by doing the following ()
$<OMS_HOME>/bin/emcli get_agentimage -destination=/oem12102 -platform="IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit) " -version=12.1.0.2.04. I unzipped the management agent software.
5. I edited the response file as follows. (i edited only the oms_host, em_upload_port, agent_registration_password, since they are the only ones that are mandatory)
OMS_HOST=172.16.24.65
EM_UPLOAD_PORT=1159
AGENT_REGISTRATION_PASSWORD=cchorcl01
#AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME=
#AGENT_PORT=
b_startAgent=true
#ORACLE_HOSTNAME=
#s_agentHomeName=
EM_INSTALL_TYPE="AGENT"6. then i ran the AgentDeploy.sh script using the following.
./agentDeploy.sh -ignorePrereqs AGENT_BASE_DIR=/oem12c/base/agent RESPONSE_FILE=/oem12102/agent.rsp(I ignored the prereqs because, i was getting an error with the hostname and the hostname is correct)
7. this the following output i am getting after running step 6.
