50 ZENworks 11 Server Installation Guide
Response file
path (optional)
If you started the installation executable with the
-s parameter, you are required to
provide a path for the file. The default path is
C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\
, which you can change to any path available on the
current server.
The Primary Server software is not installed when you run the program to create a
response file. It only displays the installation pages necessary to identify and create
the response file.
Prerequisites If the required prerequisites are not installed, you are not allowed to continue with the
installation. The requirements that are not fulfilled are displayed (GUI) or listed
(command line). For more information, see Section 1.1, “Primary Server
Requirements,” on page 7.
If the .NET prerequisite is not fulfilled, you can click the ZENworks link in the
description to install the runtime version that is bundled with ZENworks. After .NET is
installed, the installation of ZENworks proceeds. This wizard might take a few
seconds to launch.
Management
Zone
New Zone: If you are installing to the first server in the zone, you need to know what
name you want for the Management Zone and what you want to use for the zone’s
password, which is used for logging in to ZENworks Control Center.
The zone name has a 20-character limit and should be a unique name. The zone
name can contain only the following special characters: - (dash) _ (underscore) .
(period). The zone name cannot contain special characters such as ~ ` ! @ # % ^ & *
+ = ( ) { } [ ] | \ : ; " ' < > , ? / $
The zone administrator password must contain at least six characters and is limited to
a maximum of 255 characters. The password can contain only one instance of the $
character.
By default, the login username is
Administrator . After completing the installation,
you can use ZENworks Control Center to add other administrator names that can be
used to log in to the Management Zone.
During the installation of the second (or subsequent) Primary Server, the server by
default uses the ports used by first Primary Server. If the ports are in use on the
second Primary Server, you are asked to specify another port. Note which port you
specify because you will need to use it in the URL for accessing ZENworks Control
Center.
Existing Zone: If you are installing to an existing Management Zone, you need to
know the following information:
 Server identification (either the DNS name or IP address). This is an existing
Primary Server in the zone. We recommend using the DNS name to provide
ongoing synchronization with certificates that are signed with DNS names.
 SSL Port used by the existing Primary Server in the Management Zone. If this
Primary Server uses a different port than the default (443), specify that server
port.
 The username for logging in to ZENworks Control Center. The default is
Administrator . After completing the installation, you can use ZENworks
Control Center to add other administrator names that can be used to log in to the
Management Zone.
 The administrator’s password. Specify the current password for the ZENworks
administrative user specified in the Username field.
