ZENworks Configuration Management is currently in beta – one of the new pieces of the product is the ability to control and configure the client and the server environment wholly from the command line.
By default the command line tool – zman – picks up the server locale. In some cases it is useful to be able to force zman to use a specific language.
Here’s how in beta 3. This may change for the released product.
Edit the file:
%ZENWORKS_HOME%/novell/zenworks/bin/zman.bat (ZENWORKS_HOME is the installation point chosen for the server components)
Modify the line:
“%JAVA_PATH%java” -classpath %MYCP% -Dfile.encoding=%OUTPUT_CODEPAGE% -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC com.novell.zenworks.zman.ZManLoader %*
to be
“%JAVA_PATH%java” -classpath %MYCP% -Dfile.encoding=cp850 -Duser.language=en_us -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC com.novell.zenworks.zman.ZManLoader %*
Note – all on a single line; differences highlighted.

Scoble got the scoop; but this is a very interesting development.
Imagine really slick, interactive, powerful management consoles build on Eclipse and Flex. The same functionality in a thick console and in a web application.
I can see this being looked at really closely by a lot of the management console and UI people in Novell.

I’ve been a Nokia customer for years.
My first phone was a ‘Nokia Orange’ – the old 2140 brick.
Since then I’ve had lots of different Nokia phones; the only exception was a dreadful Motorola for a few months.
I’ve now had to make a choice – and I’m moving to a BlackBerry 8800.
Email on the move. Sad – but an indication of how things are changing.

I upgraded my PGP to the latest version to support Vista – working well – even the GroupWise C3PO works reasonably.
I took the plunge and did the Whole Disk Encryption for my laptop. Wow. 60GB of data encrypted in 3 hours. Now I get the PGP WDE sign on at boot, I use my home Active Directory password and I get single-sign-on into Vista. Very well implemented.
Now I’m less worried about travelling with my laptop and confidential data. BIOS password and physical security are part of the solution; but crypto for the whole disk is important.
It’s also a lot easier than the Vista Bitlocker. It works with 2000, XP and Vista – and does not require TPM on the workstation. My T42p works flawlessly so far.
