I’m in Singapore at the Asia Pacific Partner Academy; we are training partners on the forthcoming ‘ZENworks Pulsar’ release. It’s just gone beta 1.

One question that came up:

How do I integrate ZENworks 7 with Active Directory?

Well – here are the links.

Here is a really cool article from Novell Connection Magazine; it’s from December 2004 and refers to ZENworks 6.5 – but the concepts are valid today.

Also take a look at the Novell Wiki.

Here is how to integrate the ZENworks Middle Tier with a Layer 4 switch; here are the Middle Tier Best Practices.

There have also been several BrainShare sessions on Windows only management. I’ll try and find the links to presentations.

I’m always needing to check the integrity of ISOs and other large downloads; I use md5sum on Linux – and now a new tool on Windows.

digestIT 2004 is a free (beer not speech) tool for calculating the md5 and sha-1 checksums of files.

There is also an interesting project – the Antares Project – which seems to move the integrity checking game a lot further. FIPS-140-2 certification too. That’s interesting.
