10.1 Coexisting with the ZENworks Desktop
Management Agent
This section applies only if you want to deploy the ZENworks Adaptive Agent to devices that have
the traditional ZENworks Desktop Agent installed. The traditional ZENworks Desktop Agent is
included with ZENworks 7 Desktop Management.
The ZENworks Adaptive Agent and the traditional ZENworks Desktop Agent can coexist on the
same device, but only to support the use of ZENworks 10 Asset Management with traditional
ZENworks Desktop Management. ZENworks 10 Configuration Management cannot be used on the
same device as traditional ZENworks Desktop Management.
When both Asset Management and Configuration Management are activated in your Management
Zone, either through a full license or an evaluation license, the following Adaptive Agent features
are available for installation:
Asset Management (ZENworks Asset Management)
Bundle Management (ZENworks Configuration Management)
Image Management (ZENworks Configuration Management)
Inventory Management (Both products)
Policy Management (ZENworks Configuration Management)
Remote Management (ZENworks Configuration Management)
User Management (Both products)
