The information in this Readme file pertains to the update for Novell ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 (10.3.2).
This version provides fixes to some of the issues discovered in ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3.
Some version 10.3.2 changes might have been included in the English version of the ZENworks 10 Management SP3 guides after they were translated into other languages. We recommend that you check the English documentation for a complete list of the documentation updates. All untranslated documentation updates will be incorporated into the non-English versions of the online documentation with the next media release of ZENworks.
Review the following sections:
You must consider the following guidelines to plan for the deployment of version 10.3.2 in your Management Zone:
You can directly deploy version 10.3.2 to Primary Servers, Windows Satellites and managed devices that have ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 (10.3 or later) installed.
Upgrading from ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP 3 (10.3.2) to ZENworks 11 is not supported. If you choose to deploy version 10.3.2, you can directly upgrade to ZENworks 11.1 after ZENworks 11.1 is released.
If your Management Zone consists of ZENworks Asset Management 10.2.x Windows Satellites and managed devices, you can deploy version 10.3.2 to the devices only if the ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 update has been downloaded and is available in the Management Zone. The ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 update is deployed first, and subsequently version 10.3.2 is deployed. Therefore, the device reboots twice.
You must deploy version 10.3.2 first to the Primary Servers, subsequently to Satellites, and finally to managed devices.
If your Management Zone consists of ZENworks Asset Management 10.3 or 10.3.1 Primary Servers and ZENworks Asset Management 10.2.x/10.3/10.3.1 managed devices and Satellites, and if you choose to deploy version 10.3.2:
Ensure that the ZENworks Asset Management version of a managed device is earlier than or the same as the ZENworks Asset Management version of its Satellite and Primary Server.
Ensure that the ZENworks Asset Management version of the Satellite is earlier than or the same as the ZENworks Asset Management version of its Primary Server.
Refer to the following table to understand the ZENworks Asset Management support matrix:

Some of the issues that were discovered in the original shipping version of ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 have not yet been resolved. For continuing issues, review the ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 Readme and the ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 (10.3.1) Readme.
The Readmes have been updated to indicate which issues are fixed by version 10.3.2.
If you deploy an inventory-only agent on a NetWare server, the server object is created in ZENworks Control Center only on the next device refresh schedule and not immediately after the agent deployment. By default, the device refresh is scheduled for the first day of every month.
For more details, see TID 7005720 in the Novell Support Knowledgebase.
If you run an inventory scan on inventory-only managed devices, RHEL 3.x servers are not displayed in the scan reports.
