3.4.1 Coexistence of the ZENworks Systems

When you introduce Configuration Management into your environment, the following takes place:
Installation: Configuration Management is installed to a Primary Server in a Configuration
Management Zone. This server cannot be running traditional ZENworks software.
Installation sets up a Management Zone and a ZENworks database. The first Primary Server
installed hosts the database if you are not using an external database on another server.
Migration: eDirectory data is migrated to the ZENworks database on the Primary Server by
using read-only access.
Migration to Configuration Management consists of reading eDirectory data to create similar
objects, attributes, and assignments in the ZENworks database. Users are not migrated to
Configuration Management. Configuration Management simply uses eDirectory for a user
source, if you have user associations to be migrated.
You must create the user source in ZENworks Control Center before migrating user
associations.
Managed Devices: The ZENworks Adaptive Agent is installed on each device to be managed
by Configuration Management, such as workstations and Primary Servers in the Management
Zone.
Installing the Adaptive Agent also deletes the traditional ZENworks Agent software from the
managed device, so there are no managed device conflicts.
Certain considerations affect coexistence:
The Configuration Management software cannot be running on the same server as your
traditional ZENworks software.
Configuration Management uses its own database, not eDirectory.
The Adaptive Agent replaces the traditional ZENworks Agent on managed devices.
Because of these things, the Configuration Management and traditional ZENworks systems can run
concurrently in your environment without conflicts. The Configuration Management and traditional
ZENworks systems do coexist but are not interoperable. They remain as separate management
software for the devices where their respective agents are running.

3.4.2 LDAP Authentication

The ZENworks Migration Utility authenticates to both the source eDirectory tree by using LDAP
and the destination ZENworks Management Zone by using Web services, and both rely on SSL for
security over TCP/IP. LDAP must be enabled, which is the default for eDirectory trees.
