Coexistence with Other ZENworks
Products
If your environment includes other ZENworks products, please refer to the following sections for
coexistence information you should be aware of before installing ZENworks 11 :
 Section 2.1, “ZENworks Desktop Management,” on page 27
 Section 2.2, “ZENworks Asset Management,” on page 30
 Section 2.3, “ZENworks Endpoint Security Management,” on page 31
 Section 2.4, “ZENworks Patch Management,” on page 31
 Section 2.5, “ZENworks Server Management,” on page 31
 Section 2.6, “ZENworks Linux Management,” on page 31
 Section 2.7, “ZENworks Handheld Management,” on page 32
2.1 ZENworks Desktop Management
The following information applies to ZENworks 11 coexistence with ZENworks 7.x Desktop
Management (ZDM 7). ZENworks 11 does not coexist with ZENworks for Desktops 4.x or ZENworks
6.5 Desktop Management.
2.1.1 Server Coexistence
The ZENworks 11 Server cannot coexist with the ZDM 7 Server or Agent. Do not install a ZENworks
11 Server on any network server that already has a ZDM 7 Server or Agent installed.
2.1.2 Agent Coexistence
The ZENworks 11 Adaptive Agent can coexist with the ZDM 7 Agent if Asset Management or Patch
Management is the only ZENworks Adaptive Agent feature installed on the device.
The ZDM 7 Agent must be installed on a device before the ZENworks 11 Adaptive Agent. Installing
the ZDM 7 Agent after the ZENworks 11 Adaptive Agent can have undesirable consequences,
including being able to start Windows only in Safe mode until the agents are removed.
When you install the Adaptive Agent on a ZDM 7 registered device, the ZDM 7 GUID is used to
register the device in the ZENworks 11 Management Zone. This provides a migration path for the
device if you decide to move from ZDM 7 to ZENworks 11 .
The ZDM 7 Agent is automatically uninstalled when you install the Configuration Management
features (Policy Management, Bundle Management, Remote Management, User Management,
Imaging and Endpoint Security Management) because Configuration Management features overlap
with ZDM 7 Agent functionality.
To summarize, you can use ZDM 7 and ZENworks 11 Asset Management or ZENworks 11 Patch
Management on the same device, but you cannot use ZDM 7 and ZENworks 11 Configuration
Management or ZENworks 11 Endpoint Security Management on the same device.
