This section contains information about issues that might occur when you install ZENworks Asset Management.
If time is not synchronized on the network before you install the ZENworks services, you might see invalid certificate errors because the certificates have dates that are in the future, and therefore are considered invalid.
Workaround: Make sure that your network has its time synchronized before you install the ZENworks services. Make sure to include ZENworks back-end servers in the synchronization.
During the command line installation of ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 on a Linux* server, if you choose to create an MS SQL Server* database or an Oracle* database, and subsequently specify an existing database username, the installation fails at the end.
Workaround: Specify a new database username while creating the database.
The installer prompts for the first reboot after completing the installation of ZENworks Asset Management. The server prompts for a reboot again to remove any additional packages that might have been installed while installing ZENworks Asset Management.
Workaround: None
In the ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3 Installation Wizard, the Select ZENworks Ports page does not prompt you to configure any other port if port 2645 is busy. The installation proceeds but authentication to the user source might not work.
Workaround: Before you install ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP3, make sure that port 2645 is free.
(Fixed in v10.3.1) When you install ZENworks 10 Asset Management on SLES 11, the server components and default ZENworks Adaptive Agent are installed. However, the ZENworks Server is unable to connect to the default agent because the default port 7628, which is used by the ZENworks Adaptive Agent, is not automatically opened. The following message is displayed in ZENworks Control Center ( > > click the device > > ):
Unable to connect through IP Address or Host Name
Workaround: Do one of the following:
Manually open port 7628.
Disable the firewall settings.
If you have a Windows Vista managed device that has ZENworks 10 ConfigurationAsset Management SP3 (10.3.0) registered to a ZENworks 10 ConfigurationAsset Management SP3 Primary Server, the managed device fails to contact the server after you upgrade the server to ZENworks 11.
Workaround: To reconnect the managed device with the ZENworks 11 Primary Server, do one of the following:
Option 1: Upgrade the managed device to 10.3.1, and then to ZENworks 11.
Option 2: If you choose not to upgrade the managed device to ZENworks 11, unregister the device from the ZENworks ConfigurationAsset Management 10.3 zone and manually register it to the ZENworks 11 Primary Server by using the zac reg command.
This section contains information about accessibility issues with ZENworks Asset Management.
By default, Windows does not provide keyboard support for the toolbar.
Workaround: Enable the accessibility options in Windows and use the Accessibility Wizard to enable mouse key settings. When you do this, mouse functions are controlled by using the numeric keypad.
This section contains information about issues that might occur with Authentication.
If you change the Authentication mechanism for an Authentication server, you must stop and restart the ZENworks services before the change takes effect.
This section contains information about the issues that might occur when you use the Remote Management feature in ZENworks ConfigurationAsset Management.
If you remotely connect to a managed device through Remote Desktop Connection (RDP), then download and install the ZENworks Adaptive Agent, the installation does not complete and the Remote Desktop Connection program stops working.
Workaround: To fix the issue, download the patch from Microsoft Support Web site and install it on the managed device.
The ZENworks Reporting solution is based on BusinessObjects Enterprise* XI. This section contains issues that might occur when you use ZENworks Reporting.

ZENworks Reporting might not contain a reference to users that were created by using the ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP2 user source. Therefore, ZENworks Reporting fails when you log in to ZENworks Control Center by using an administrator account (such as Administrator@windowdomain.com) created in ZENworks Asset Management 10 SP2.
Workaround: On the ZENworks Reporting Server, use the following command to create users for the administrator account that was created by using the ZENworks 10 Asset Management SP2 user source:
zman rpau complete_user_name
where the complete_user_name is the administrator account, such as Administrator@windowdomain.com.
In the ZENworks Reporting Server InfoView, the Suites or Software Collection reports display inaccurate data if you add Installation dimensions to them. The Installation dimensions are located in > > > .
Workaround: None.
If you launch the ZENworks Reporting Server InfoView in Firefox 3.5, and you select as the target window in the Create Hyperlink dialog box while linking a ZENworks Report to a User Details Report, the User Details Report data is not displayed in the new browser window.
Workaround: While linking a ZENworks Report to a User Details Report in a Firefox 3.5 browser, select as the target window in the Create Hyperlink dialog box.
If ZENworks Reporting Server is installed on a Linux Primary Server, reporting does not work if the ZENworks database is an MS SQL Server database and the authentication mode is Windows Authentication.
Workaround: See TID 7006288 at Novell Support.
Workaround: Before executing the rpsv and rpgn commands, ensure that the specified destination path has the read-write-execute (rwx) permissions for all Linux users.
This section contains information about issues that might occur with the ZENworks Adaptive Agent in ZENworks Asset Management.
The ZENworks Adaptive Agent is installed on Linux Primary Servers to enable software updates. Although Linux servers appear as managed devices in ZENworks Control Center, any actions performed on them, such as assignments, QuickTasks, and so on, will fail.
If you deselect the Agent Feature in ZENworks Control Center (Agent Features panel on the ZENworks Agent page), the User Management feature is not uninstalled on a Windows 2000 device.
For more information on customizing the agent features, see Customizing the Agent Features.
Workaround: None.
This section contains information about issues that might occur when you use ZENworks Control Center.
A Microsoft* security fix (see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 312461) disallows certain characters in DNS names by not returning cookies when those characters are used in the server’s name. If cookies are not returned, state information cannot be preserved across HTML requests, so the user cannot log in to ZENworks Control Center.
The only characters allowed for DNS names in Windows are the alphabetical characters (a‑z), numbers, and the hyphen. For example, you cannot use an underscore character. Use a hyphen instead.
This is not an issue with the Mozilla Firefox browser, even when it runs on Windows.
Workarounds:
Reference the IP address instead of its DNS name.
Reference a valid DNS name for the IP address the server is using. For example, your server name might be A_Server.mycompany.com, but the DNS registration for the IP address might be Aserver.mycompany.com, which will work.
If you use only Internet Explorer to run ZENworks Control Center, do not use underscores in your server names.
When Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is installed on non-English (U.S.), there are differing sort orders and collations offered. This means that the ordering of lists in ZENworks Control Center is affected, including devices and so on.
Workaround: When you install an SQL Server, it selects a default based on the locale of the server. Review the Microsoft documentation to determine which collation option to use when installing your MS SQL Server.
This section contains information about issues that might occur when you use the zman command line utility.
Using the man zman command for Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese doesn’t display any help. It only displays the tilde (~) character.
Workaround: None.
