Additional Details
You are given the option to launch the
.NET installation during installation of
ZENworks. If you select the option, .NET
2.0 is installed. For better performance
and stability, you should upgrade to the
latest support packs and patches of .NET
2.0 through Windows Automatic Updates
or Patch Management on the agent.
.NET 2.0 SP1 is the latest version
supported by Microsoft on Windows 2000.
.NET 2.0 SP2 is the latest version of .NET
2.0 supported by Microsoft on Windows
XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows
Server 2008, and Windows Vista.
On Windows XP and Windows Server
2003, you can directly download and
install .NET 2.0 SP2 or upgrade to .NET
3.5 SP1, which includes .NET 2.0 SP2.
On Windows Vista and Windows Server
2008, you must upgrade to .NET 3.5 SP1
to get the .NET 2.0 SP2 update installed.
In order to view the status in ZENworks
Control Center of the ZENworks Adaptive
Agent for a managed device, ZENworks
automatically opens port 7628 on the
device if you are using the Windows
firewall. However, if you are using a
different firewall, you must open this port
manually.
Port 7628 must also be opened on the
device if you want to send a QuickTask to
the client from ZENworks Control Center.
For Remote Management where the
ZENworks Adaptive Agent is running, the
device listens on port 5950.
You can change the port in ZENworks
Control Center (Configuration tab
>Management Zone Settings > Device
Management > Remote Management).
