In order to support deployment of the ZENworks Adaptive Agent from files on either local or network media, there are two types of deployment packages:
Network: A network package contains only the preagent. After the preagent is installed to the device, it downloads and installs the ZENworks Adaptive Agent files from a ZENworks Server.
The network package is PreAgentPkg_Agent.exe.
A network package requires that Microsoft .NET is installed on a device prior to the deployment of the agent to the device.
Standalone: A standalone package contains the preagent, all of the ZENworks Adaptive Agent module files, and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installables. This package does not require access to the ZENworks Server to install the Adaptive Agent; hence, you can distribute it via removable media (CD, USB drive, etc.) to devices or you can use it for devices that do not already have .NET installed. After the Adaptive Agent is installed, it registers with the Management Zone the next time it has access to the ZENworks Server.
The standalone package is named PreAgentPkg_AgentComplete.exe.
In order provide support for the various Windows operating system architectures, there are three versions of each of the two packages:
x86 version: You can use the x86 version for manual deployments to 32-bit Windows devices.
The x86 packages (PreAgentPkg_Agent.exe and PreAgentPkg_AgentComplete.exe) are located in the following ZENworks Server directory:
%ZENWORKS_HOME%\novell\zenworks\install\downloads\setup\x86 on Windows and /opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/setup/x86 on Linux.
x86_64 version: You can use the x86_64 version for manual deployments to 64-bit Windows devices.
The x86_64 packages (PreAgentPkg_Agent.exe and PreAgentPkg_AgentComplete.exe) are located in the following ZENworks Server directory:
%ZENWORKS_HOME%\novell\zenworks\install\downloads\setup\x86_64 on Windows and /opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/setup/x86_64 on Linux.
All Architectures version: This package is used by the ZENworks Server when completing a deployment task. It contains files for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows devices.
The All Architectures packages (PreAgentPkg_Agent.exe and PreAgentPkg_AgentComplete.exe) are located in the following ZENworks Server directory:
%ZENWORKS_HOME%\novell\zenworks\install\downloads\setup\_all on Windows and /opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/setup/_all on Linux.
