This book documents Novell's Zero Effort Networking (ZENworks) suite of desktop-management tools. It explains what each element of the ZENworks suite can do to ease management tasks and reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) on Windows networks. It also explicitly states strategies and procedures for using ZENworks, making it relatively easy to implement their use on a network.
The book carefully explains the technique for making ZENworks elements fit in with other Windows desktop and application-management tools, including Microsoft's Zero Administration Kit (ZAK). Screen shots help you correlate the documentation to your network and offer shortcut procedures. The book also contains detailed information on configuration options and software features.
Topics covered include:
- Network and applications-management software
- Client and server installation
- Policy packages
- Workstation objects
- Application metering
- Remote management
