at least 25 GB of additional free disk
space. All content replication servers
also require this same amount of
additional free disk space if Patch

Patch Management in additional

this additional amount of free space
for each language used.

Additional Details
All the Core and Data Center Editions of
Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server
2008 are not supported as Primary Server
platforms. Windows Server 2008 Core is not
supported because it does not support the
.NET Framework.
ZENworks 10 Configuration Management is
supported on Windows Server 2003 and
Windows Server 2008 editions with or
without Hyper-V.
IMPORTANT: If you want to install
ZENworks Reporting Server on a Primary
Server, you must install it either on SLES
10, OES 2, Windows Server 2003, or
Windows Server 2008 platforms. ZENworks
Reporting Server is currently not supported
on SLES 11 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Novell Support web site (http://

Because the ZENworks database file and
ZENworks content repository can each
become very large, you might want a
separate partition or hard drive available.
For information on changing the default
content repository location on a Windows
server, see "Content Repository" in the
ZENworks 10 Configuration Management
System Administration Reference.
For Linux servers, you might want the
var/opt directory to be located on a large
partition. This is where the database (if
embedded) and content repository are
stored.
