ZENworks is one of the most exciting new technologies around. By automating desktop management and workstation maintenance, it frees system administrators to work on more pressing issues and allows users to feel confident that their workstations are set up in peak efficiency. ZENworks is full of useful tools and features, but like all clever products, it's also complicated. How does NDS performance affect where the application objects should be placed? What components from the starter pack are required for your particular management strategy? How does the software integrate with your current system architecture? "Desktop Management with Novell ZENworks" answers these and other questions you have about this powerful new product. This book covers: client management for Windows 95, 98 and NT; workstation manager; Novell Application Launcher; workstation objects and inventory; remote management including security issues; and software metering.
Whether you're trying to figure out what policy objects are available for your Windows platform or you need to restore a file that a user has inadvertently deleted, "Desktop Management with Novell ZENworks" should help you understand the complexities of the tools and maximize their power.
