1.3.1
Windows Device Performing Satellite Roles
In addition to their usual functions, Windows devices can be used as satellites. Make sure that when
you use these managed devices for satellites, they are capable of performing the satellite functions.
A Windows device performing satellite roles must meet the minimum requirements of a Windows
managed device listed in Section 1.2.1, “Windows Managed Device Requirements,” on page 13 with
the following exceptions:
Windows Embedded XP is not a supported workstation operating system for Satellite devices.
Satellite devices require additional TCP and UDP ports to be open.
The following table lists the additional TCP and UDP ports that must be open on a Satellite device:
Table 1-4 Additional Ports Required for a Managed Device Performing Satellite Roles
Item Requirements Additional Details
Firewall Settings: TCP
Ports
80 If you plan to use AdminStudio ZENworks Edition, it
requires that the Primary Server is using port 80.
443 Port 443 is used for CASA authentication. Opening this
port allows ZENworks 11 to manage devices outside of
the firewall. It is a good practice to make sure that the
network is configured to always allow communication on
this port between the ZENworks Server and ZENworks
Agents on managed devices.
998 Used by Preboot Server (novell-pbserv).
The Preboot Server (novell-pbserv) is used only with
ZENworks Configuration Management.
Firewall Settings: UDP
Ports
67 Used by proxy DHCP when it is not running on the same
device as the DHCP server.
69 Used by the Imaging TFTP, but will not work across
firewall because it opens random UDP port for each PXE
device.
The Imaging TFTP is used only with ZENworks
Configuration Management.
997 Used by the Imaging Server for multicasting.
The Imaging Server is used only with ZENworks
Configuration Management.
4011 Used for proxy DHCP when it is running on the same
device as the DHCP server. Make sure that the firewall is
configured to allow the broadcast traffic to the proxy
DHCP service.
13331 Used by the zmgpreboot policy, but will not work across
firewall because it opens random UDP port for each PXE
device.
The zmgpreboot policy is used only with ZENworks
Configuration Management.
