Zenworks Agent interferes with GroupWise & Messenger

We have been running GW 8 and IM 2.0.4 without issue for several months on XP machines along with Zenworks 7. We recently upgraded to Zenworks 10.2 and since then we have had numerous users complain that GroupWise and/or Messenger hangs on them. We find in these cases that there are a number of instances of GroupWise in the task manager and upon killing the processes, Messenger will begin working again and GroupWise can be started again without a problem. However, over time the same thing will occur again. The surefire thing we have found to prevent it from happening is to remove the Zenworks agent from the machine.
Anybody else having issues with the Zenworks 10.2 agent interfering with GroupWise and Messenger?

We have no issues with GW on workstations running ZCM10.2. We don't use messenger so maybe the messenger is causing this issue.

    Good day everybody,

    Hi,
    Yes, that's what I used, 2.04 GW... I also tried the 2.02 and they have the result. I also try it with SLES 10 and same result.
    But I tried to reinstall it with LDAP configuration and it was successfully installed but the problem is the client cannot log in under windows XP cannot log in the account that I made. Is there any configuration that I should change? Waiting for reply thanks!....

    Messenger extending schema on Linux, that the installation would stop
    if there was a problem extending the schema. The patch was supposed to
    fix it. This was an older GW Messenger patch (2.02). Are you using
    2.04 GW Messenger software?

    Anyone knows how to uninstall zenworks agent with a script ?

    The uninstall string should be in the registry along with the other programs

  • ZenWorks Agent and Windows7 - No dynamic User

    Hello we have Open Workgroup Suite 2.5 Small Business Edition. With the last automatic update.
    Now we have new PC's with Windows7 SP1.
    Problem: Windows 7 SP1 does not Register the PC in Zenworks. ZENworks- Server properties are empty.
    It works fine with Windows XP.
    OWS is included Zenworks Agent Version 10.2.0.25097 (The System does not upgrade to other version).
    Any Idea for a solution?

    Hi almerola,
    If you have maintenance on your NOWS SBE, you should have a link in the NCC to ZCM 11. If you do not see ZCM 11 as one of the items listed, contact the NCC and they will make it available.

  • Apply add-on bundle without Zenworks agent installed?

    Hi all,
    I've created an add-on image file from a bundle within ZCC, but I can't apply it when imaging a computer. It says it can't find any installed Zenworks agent, and that is true, since it is not part of the base image. Instead it gets installed when Windows boots up.
    I found this post that says you can use another add-on image to create an empty directory structure on the computer before you apply the add-on image, thus fooling it to believe the agent is installed.
    This doesn't seem to work here, though, maybe because we have 64-bit Windows 7. I changed the directory structure to reflect the C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder, but it doesn't seem to work.
    Is there any workaround for this, preferrably without having to install the agent within the base image?
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Pr

    Oh well... this was quite silly. I found the answer myself, and it seems that if you only create an add-on image with empty folders, it will not be created on the workstation (although there was no message to indicate that). But when I put a dummy text file into the \Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\work folder, the structure was created and I was able to push out the add-on image file afterwards without the agent installed.

  • ZENworks Agent Service stops after deploying 10.3.3 agent.

    Hi,
    Yesterday i patched our three ZCM-servers (Sles 11) with 10.3.3. I then deployed the 10.3.3 agent to some computers in the IT-department. ZCC shows that the deployment were successful. The problem is that you can not log on to the ZONE from many of these computers. The Novell ZENworks Agent Service stops. I get the following in the Application Windows Log on a Windows 7 64-bit client:

    I would try removing all versions of .NET and then reinstalling the
    latest 3.5 SP1 version to see if that helps, since the Agent relies on .NET
    If that does not help, I would recommend getting an SR created so the
    dump could be analyzed.

  • Uninstalling GroupWise messenger using command line

    I need to uninstall GroupWise Messenger on more than 20 workstations. I would like to do the uninstall using
    a command line that can deployed via Zenworks or script.
    I know that you can run "setup.exe uninstall" to uninstall the program but it prompts for confirmation
    to uninstall. Is there a way to bypass the confirmation message?

  • ZENworks agent update from workstation.

    Hi there,
    Is there a way to get workstations to update themselves automatically with the latest version of the ZENworks agent. (ZCM 11.2.3.a is what we have)
    We have a standard image which has a older version of the ZCM agent on it. Images are pulled down and the workstations are automatically built.
    Various bundles are then installed automatically on the workstations. When we update the image with other changes etc, we will add the new agent to it.
    But until we do that, instead of me having to manually check for all new machines built in the last week / month and then assign the agent update to them,
    is there a process, script, bundle of something that can run on the workstation to update the agent itself to the latest version we have.
    We are using ZCM 11.2.3a and we need to do this without having to manually visit 200-400 machines.
    Thanks
    Mark

    While I (And Microsoft) recommends configuring your Router/Switches to
    pass WOL packets from your trusted WOL Servers (Primaries in this case),
    it is also possible to use WOL Proxies to allow this to happen across
    your subnets.
    There are also some Windows settings that may be necessary to allow WOL
    to work from a deep sleep state. I would recommend researching those as
    well.
    If you are concerned about deploying updates when users are not using
    the devices, WOL is something with which I recommend you become more
    comfortable using.

  • Mini dvi to dvi adapter interferes with airport ?

    Hi,
    I am seeing slower network speed (20% of the normal speed), when I use the mini-dvi-to-dvi adapter... I also have a mini-dvi-to-vga adapter which doesn't cause this network speed degradation.
    I guess the dvi adapter somehow interferes with the signals the airport sends and receives. The adapter comes with a very short cable (a couple of inches), so I can't move it out of the way to reduce interference (assuming that is the issue).
    In both cases, the adapters connect to the same external display (1920 x 1200) and they both work fine for my monitor. But I'd like to use the mini-dvi-to-dvi adapter because of the (slightly) better picture quality.
    But perhaps it's not interference, anyone else has ideas ?
    Unless anyone has a suggestion, I am going to return the mini-dvi-to-dvi adapter because it's pretty useless if it interferes with the airport.
    For now, I'd recommend others to buy a mini-dvi-to-vga adapter for their external displays...
    iMac, Mac Book and Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Yes, I have that option set... but your response reminds me that that I haven't tried setting it off, see if that makes a difference (would be quite ironical if setting off "robustness" fixed it
    Since yours works, I wonder if it depends on the wireless router I use; I have a Netgear WTG624
    Thanks,

  • How can I delete my first apple ID it interferes with apps I want to buy using my iCloud id

    I recently had my macbook pro worked on at apple, with great success.  I was told I would be able to delete my first apple ID which is a me.com account
    I now use I cloud and want the other to go away for good..  But it isn't as they said it would.  It interferes with purchases on my I-phone and I don't even remember the password.  Is it possible to delete it ? if so How ???

    You cannot delete an Apple ID. You can just stop using it. You should change the iCloud Apple ID address you now are using in the device to the new one you wish to use. I suggest you tab Settings > General > Reset > Settings, then reconfigure your phone this time using your new Apple ID.

  • Separate Apple ID= Your own iCloud bubble (doesn't interfere with setting of people with their own Apple ID)

    Pretty much, I want to set up iCloud with my Mac and iPhone. I have my own Apple ID that is different from the rest of my family, if I set up iCloud with my devices, it won't interfere with the rest of my family's settings? This is REALLY important to be certain (my parents will kill me if this messes with their devices.
    Ps. Has anyone found Dream Vacation Solitaire for Mac or something similar?

    If you set up iCloud with a separate Apple ID it will have no effect whatever on any other account.

  • Notification center interferes with full-screen apps (incl. games)

    The new notification center interferes with games.
    When you are making control movements on the screen, a little grey tab keeps appearing at the top middle of the screen.
    Just from using it, it seems the notification center has a full-screen mode and a normal mode. For apps which are running in full-screen (includes games, but also built in apps such as YouTube and Photos when they are in full-screen mode), the gesture which normally brings down the full notification center just brings down a little gray tab at the top middle of the screen. You can then slide that tab down, if you really want the notification center.
    But in games, the tab keeps appearing when you don't want it, and it has nothing to do with the gameplay. Even in Photos and YouTube, I would be quite happy if the tab did not appear at all in full-screen mode (a single click on these apps takes them out of full-screen mode, then you can drag down the notification center anyway).
    It would be very appreciated if an iOS update could add a notification center Settings option to disable the notification center tab drag-down, in full-screen mode.
    I can understand that Apple are very unlikely to add an option to disable all notifications in full-screen mode; fair enough. And if a new notification does appear during a full-screen app, then of course dragging that down should still bring in the full notification center. What I don't want is the little grey tab appearing - when I'm just operating with an app in full screen mode, and no new notifications have arrived.
    Mike

    I agree with both posts and have the exact same issues with iOs 5.  I also feel that I've been juked by Apple into upgrading to iOs 5.  I had absolutely no desire to slow down my games and add a feature that would interfere with said games, which is all I've gotten with the notification center.  No disable option?  Seriously, that is just one of the most absurd things I can imagine.
    And I hate to burst Apple's bubble, but your CPUs and iOs do NOT multi-task unless it's the 4s (which has two cores).  If you (Apple) have the notification center running in the background at the same time that I'm playing my game or typing, the iphone 4 and all versions before it are going to lag or skip while processing the notification center while it ignores the current thread (ie games, interface, etc)!  This is the reason the old system was implemented the way it was.  I know this for a fact (for example, any games would pause immediately when you recieved a text message, because the iphone is only capable of processing 1 thread).
    Honestly, I think apple intentionally added this feature in this way to try to force users to migrate to the 4s because it's a dual core phone, and it won't experience as much lag when running two tasks.
    Just add a disable option, some people NEED the performance we had in iOs 4!

  • Problem with Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry 10

    Hi Blackberry Team,
    I've recently encountered a problem with Yahoo Messenger 10.1.0.88 on my Blackberry Q10 running OS 10.1.0.4181 software. It had been working fine for like a month after I purchased this phone from the authorized shop in Thailand until a few days ago it started showing the message within seconds after signed-in: 'Your connectino to the instant messaging provider has been lost. You can wait for the connection to be re-established or close the application and try logging in later'.
    This is only when I'm on 3G cellular network. It works fine through Wi-Fi connection. 
    I did some research on website and found that the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry is actually 10.1.1.16 released on Sep 30th, 2013 but, for some unknown reasons, my Blackberry World only shows the '10.1.0.88' (which already installed on my phone) as the latest version. 
    I really need this for work as I'm communicating with international bankers over yahoo. Please help look into this problem and get it fixed at your earliest possible. Thank you.

    I have the same problem with my z10 always unknown error it getting me crazy

  • Display picture in messages totally  pixelated when seeing it with yahoo messenger for windows

    Hello,
    I'm using messages to chat with my yahoo messenger account  at work and yahoo messenger for windows at home.
    When I log into Yahoo with messages, my yahoo display picture is updated automatically with the one I have choose in messages.
    My problem is that this picture is totally pixelated when you see it on yahoo messenger for windows. It seems that Messages is changing its size.
    As the size in Yahoo messenger for windows is bigger it appears pixelated!
    If I choose no display picture in messages, the one I have choose with yahoo messenger for windows disappear when I'm logging with it.
    Is there a way that messages do not update the display picture each time I'm logging to Yahoo?
    I suppose that there is no solution to this problem but I wanted to be sure.
    Anyway thanks for your help.

    HI,
    Thanks for the Path.
    This does seem to show all the Recents from the Contacts App > My Card, the Login Pic and the Messages Buddy List pic.
    I think in Mountain Lion these were either separate items  or the .plist that is in the current place listed the app/location the pic was used.
    I have looked at the pictures in the folder (.png and thumbnail .tiffs) and the .plist and it does seem to be all the pics I have used in all three places over the last few months.
    The Yahoo account is logged in not through IMAgent that FaceTime and Messages use for other Accounts but from the IMServicePluginAgent.
    In Mountain Lion this used to list a Buddy Pic server as well as a straightforward login.
    Using Little Snitch I am not seeing that in Mavericks.
    Seems you may have to change your Pic on a web page for your Yahoo account.
