NOVELL ZENWORKS 7.2 LINUX MANAGEMENT

Novell® ZENworks® Linux Management makes it easy to embrace and extend

Linux* within your existing environment. It is the only solution that uses policy-driven

automation to deploy, manage, and maintain Linux resources. These automated and

intelligent policies allow you to provide centralized control across the lifecycle of

Linux systems for desktop lockdown, imaging, remote management, inventory

management, and software management. The result is a comprehensive Linux

management solution that eliminates IT effort by dramatically reducing the required

overhead needed to manage Linux systems.

PURPOSE OF THE SCENARIOS

The purpose of these scenarios is to familiarize you with the some of new features

included in ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management (Breakout).

With the release of ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management, Novell engineering

has compiled scenarios that represent a number of the new features and functions

of the product. These scenarios are used by our test team and are now being shared

outside of the internal teams to better facilitate testing by users. This

information also helps to provide an overview of many of the features and also can

educate users on the new capabilities of the product.

ASSUMPTIONS

We assume that you have followed:

•The instructions in Installing the ZENworks Primary Server in the ZENworks

7.2 Linux Management Installation Guide.

•The instructions for Setting Up Managed Devices in the ZENworks 7.2 Linux

Management Installation Guide.
