In most Novell ZENworks 7 Handheld Management installations, you need to install only the
ZENworks Handheld Management Server. The Handheld Management Server runs as a service on a
supported Windows machine (server or workstation). The ZENworks Handheld Management Server
is the central point of the ZENworks Handheld Management installation and is responsible for
managing communications with all clients and maintaining distribution schedules and distribution
results for the installation.
The ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point is a collection of components that is
automatically installed on the Handheld Management Server during installation. The ZENworks
Handheld Management Access Point can also be installed on multiple computers to distribute the
communication load and to provide better support for WAN configurations. You can install
ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point on additional computers, either on the same LAN
or at remote WAN sites. Each handheld device is then configured with the ZENworks Handheld
Management Access Point that it should connect to.
The ZENworks Handheld Management Desktop Synchronization Integration Software lets you
install desktop software on users' desktops to integrate with Palm HotSync, Microsoft ActiveSync,
and RIM Desktop Manager software.
You can install the ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point and Desktop Synchronization
Integration Software to users' desktop computers by running from a network location or
setup.exe
using the Application Management component of ZENworks Desktop Management. Additionally,
you can populate the file with the appropriate settings so that you can perform silent
setup.iss
(unattended) installations of both the ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point or Desktop
Synchronization Integration Software.
Silent installations allow you to install the software quickly by eliminating the prompts that are
normally displayed during installation.
When you use a silent installation, the ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point or Desktop
Synchronization Integration Software on each machine is configured identically because each
installation is configured based on what is stored in the file. For example, each machine
setup.iss
uses the same installation path and each machine connects to the same Handheld Management
Server.
If you want to distribute the ZENworks Handheld Management Access Point or Desktop
Synchronization Integration Software to machines using various supported platforms, you need to
perform the following steps on a machine with that OS platform. Also, the machine you perform the
following steps on should have the same or similar configuration as the machines you will be
installing the software on.
