In order to support deployment of the ZENworks Agent from files on either local or network media, there are various types of deployment packages for Windows, Linux and Macintosh operating systems.There are three versions of each of these packages: x86, x86_64, and x86/x86_64. The x86 and x86_64 packages are used in deployments to 32-bit and 64-bit devices, while the x86/x86_64 version is used in deployments to either 32-bit or 64-bit devices.
The following packages are available for installing the ZENworks Agent on Windows:
Network: Contains the web-installer.exe and configuration file, which downloads the ZENworks Agent files from a ZENworks Server and installs the agent on the device.
Standalone: Contains the pre-agent, all the ZENworks Agent module files, and the Microsoft .NET 4.8 installables. The ZENworks Agent is installed to the device, but no registration or management occurs until the device connects to the network.
Web: The web-installer.exe will install the ZENworks Agent. The web installer does not include any zone specific information and is signed by Micro Focus to prevent the antivirus from blocking the install as potential malware.
To support the various Windows architectures, there are three versions of each package:
x86 version: You use the x86 version for manual deployment to 32-bit Windows devices.
The x86 package (PreAgentPkg_AgentCompleteDotNet.exe) is located in the following directory on the ZENworks Server:
%ZENSERVER_HOME%\install\downloads\setup\x86 on Windows and /opt/microfocus/zenworks/install/downloads/setup/x86 on Linux.
x86_64 version: You use the x86_64 version for manual deployment to 64-bit Windows devices.
The x86_64 package (PreAgentPkg_AgentCompleteDotNet.exe) is located in the following directory on the ZENworks Server:
%ZENSERVER_HOME%\install\downloads\setup\x86_64 on Windows and /opt/microfocus/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.zip, PreAgentPkg_AgentCompleteDotNet.exe, and web-installer.exe) are located in the following directory on the ZENworks Server:
%ZENSERVER_HOME%\install\downloads\setup\_all on Windows and /opt/microfocus/zenworks/install/downloads/setup/_all on Linux.
The following packages are available for installing the ZENworks Agent on Linux:
To support the various Linux architectures, there are three versions of each package:
x86 version: You use the x86 version for manual deployment to 32-bit Linux devices.
The x86 package (PreAgentPkg_AgentLinuxComplete.bin) is located in the following directory on the ZENworks Server:
%ZENSERVER_HOME%\install\downloads\setup\x86 on Windows and /opt/microfocus/zenworks/install/downloads/setup/x86 on Linux.
x86_64 version: You use the x86_64 version for manual deployment to 64-bit Linux devices.
The x86_64 package (PreAgentPkg_AgentLinuxComplete.bin) is located in the following directory on the ZENworks Server:
%ZENSERVER_HOME%\install\downloads\setup\x86_64 on Windows and /opt/microfocus/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 Linux devices.
The All Architectures packages (PreAgentPkg_AgentLinux.zip, PreAgentPkg_AgentLinuxComplete.bin and web-installer.bin) are located in the following directory on the ZENworks Server:
%ZENSERVER_HOME%\install\downloads\setup\_all on Windows and /opt/microfocus/zenworks/install/downloads/setup/_all on Linux.
The following packages are available for installing the ZENworks Agent on Macintosh devices:
Network: Contains only the pre-agent, which downloads the ZENworks Agent files from the ZENworks Server.
Standalone: Contains the pre-agent and all the ZENworks Agent module files.
The architecture of the agent to be installed depends upon the architecture of Java installed on the device. To support the various Macintosh architectures, there are three versions of each package:
x86 version: You use the x86 version for manual deployment to Macintosh devices having 32-bit Java installed on the device.
The x86 packages (PreAgentPkg_AgentMac.bin and PreAgentPkg_AgentMacComplete.bin) are located in the following directory on the ZENworks Server:
%ZENSERVER_HOME%\install\downloads\setup\x86 on Windows and /opt/microfocus/zenworks/install/downloads/setup/x86 on Linux and Macintosh devices.
x86_64 version: You use the x86_64 version for manual deployment to 64-bit Macintosh devices.
The x86_64 packages (PreAgentPkg_AgentMac.bin and PreAgentPkg_AgentMacComplete.bin) are located in the following directory on the ZENworks Server:
\install\downloads\setup\x86_64 on Windows and on Linux and Macintosh devices.
