Customizing The Agent Features; Customizing Features Before Deployment; Section 10.2, "Customizing The Agent Features - Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - DISCOVERY-DEPLOYMENT-RETIREMENT REFERENCE 10.3 30-03-2010 Deployment Manual

The Asset Management, Inventory Management, Policy Management, and Remote Management
features overlap with the ZENworks Desktop Management features. Therefore, when you deploy
the Adaptive Agent to a device that has the traditional ZENworks Desktop Agent installed, if you
install any of the Adaptive Agent features other than Asset Management, Inventory Management,
Policy Management, and Remote Management, the Adaptive Agent removes the ZENworks
Desktop Agent before installing the features.
During deployment, the preagent is installed first. It then contacts the ZENworks Management Zone
to identify which Adaptive Agent features should be installed. If any of the Adaptive Agent features
other than Asset Management, Inventory Management, Policy Management, and Remote
Management are to be installed, the preagent uninstalls the ZENworks Desktop Agent before
installing the features. If the preagent is unable to contact the server, it stops installation of the
Adaptive Agent and does not uninstall the traditional ZENworks Desktop Agent.

10.2 Customizing the Agent Features

The ZENworks Adaptive Agent provides the following Configuration Management features:
Asset Management (installed if Asset Management activated)
Bundle Management (installed by default)
Image Management (installed by default)
Inventory Management (installed by default)
Patch Management (installed if Patch Management activated)
Policy Management (installed by default)
Remote Management (installed by default)
User Management (installed by default)
By default, all modules are installed on a device. However, you can uninstall, disable, or enable any
of the modules except Inventory Management at the Management Zone, device folder, and device
levels before and after the agent deployment.
Review the following sections:
Section 10.2.1, "Customizing Features before Deployment," on page 78
