Question : Zenworks v2 disable client

We are in the process of starting a migration off Netware. We also run some Zenworks v2.

For our Zenworks v4 estate, we will first remove Zenworks to remove any dependancies on applications being delivered by the system. After a period we will then do the migration from Netware and remove the Novell Client.


I believe that there is no separate Zenworks client for Zenworks v2 and it is part of the Novell client. Can someone advise whether it is possible to disable the Zen component?

Cheers

Answer : Zenworks v2 disable client

Nope, it is not an MSI.

There is a document on the Novell site about removing parts of the 4.8x novell client:

http://www.novell.com/support/php/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=10070072&sliceId=&docTypeID=DT_TID_1_1&dialogID=95115772&stateId=0%200%2095117246

It seems to be not fully complete. The documentation mentions the following:

SETUPW2K /u ms_nwspx (remove spx)
SETUPW2K /u ms_nwnb (remove netbios)
SETUPW2K /u ms_nwipx (remove ipx)
SETUPW2K /u nw_wm (remove workstation manager)
SETUPW2K /u nw_ndps (remove ndps printing)
SETUPW2K /u nw_nwfs (remove the client component)

a more complete list is probably (as extracted from the .inf files)

SETUPW2K /u nw_wua (remove remote management)
SETUPW2K /u nw_nttsa (remove target service agent)
SETUPW2K /u nw_nalntsrv (remove Zenworks application launcher)
SETUPW2K /u nw_ziswin (remove Zenworks Imaging service)
SETUPW2K /u nw_nwip (remove Netware/IP)
SETUPW2K /u nw_cproxy (remove Novell IP gateway)

Thus, for removing zenworks, use the following script:

1: 2: 3: 4: 5:

SETUPW2K /u nw_wm SETUPW2K /u nw_wua SETUPW2K /u nw_nalntsrv SETUPW2K /u nw_ziswin shutdown /r /f
