I’ve been flooded with requests for a more detailed ZENworks 7 Linux Management document – something like what I wrote for ZLM 6.6.1
I’m on it now. I am installing to a fresh, new SLES 9 server – and hopefully I’ll get something out soon.
Current fun – documenting the server-side dependancies. XFree86-libs? wtf? Turns out some of the eDirectory management tools have funky requirements. Do people really build servers with X and a desktop on them?
My second day of back to back meetings and presentations.
TUT 317 – ZENworks Linux Management best practices and TUT 315 – ZENworks Patch Management best practices
Lots of time preparing for the Thursday keynote. Just sitting back stage – and there are some incredible demos in store.

A busy day. I will post photos later today!
Sunrise:
Up early for a final run through of the keynote. All went well – I co-presented with Alan Murray; we covered ZENworks 7, ZENworks 7 Linux Management and ZENworks 7 Asset Management. Everything worked well – and we were exactly within our time allocation.
More sessions this afternoon – TUT 217 – ZENworks Architecture overview and future, TUT 223 – Managing NLD with ZLM and finally TUT 317 – ZENworks Linux Management best practices.

I blogged from BrainShare in SLC about building a keynote demo.
The keynote we build for BrainShare in March was based on pre-release code; an early beta of ZENworks 7 Linux Management and a hastily rebranded early look at ZENworks Asset Management.
Things are a lot easier this time – we now have shipping product to demo with – and I am using the fantastic integrated demo system from Doc Hodges. I’ve got a few good workstations and VMware images.
I’ll take some more screen shots and share them online.
I keep getting asked about updates to the ZENworks Desktop Imaging engine – specifically driver support and the like.
There is a cool project on the Novell forge site – that hosts new drivers, lots of docs and complete ISOs of the environment. It’s here – http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?zfdimgdrv
Point to note – in ZENworks 7 – we moved to a SLES9 based distro for imaging – so driver support is vastly improved.
I took some screen shots of ZLM7 in action – mainly a look at the ZENworks Control Center
