ZEN15-Managing Macintosh OS-X with Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 / Lecture Management Goals for OS X Support in ZCM 11.2 The main goal of the ZCM 11.2 release is to provide a consistent set of management capabilities across all platforms. All platforms supported by ZCM (Linux, Windows, and Mac) have at least the same capabilities of the Mac support in ZCM 11.2 In future releases, additional feature support will be added for the Mac OS X platform. ZENworks customers have been inquiring about Mac support for many releases. ZCM 11.2 provides Mac support that: is managed using the same ZENworks Control Center that manages Linux and Windows platforms is built into the core of the product without requiring additional licenses or product codes. 6 Copying all or part of this manual, or distributing such copies, is strictly prohibited.

Managing Macintosh OS X with ZENworks 11.2 Configuration Management Identifying OS X Support Requirements The graphic above shows which versions of the OS X platform are supported in ZCM 11.2. Note that the server versions of OS X are not officially supported platforms. In order to install the ZENworks Adaptive Agent (XPlat version) on OS X platforms, Java version 1.6 must already be installed on the machine. The Leopard and Snow Leopard operating systems had Java already installed. However Lion does not. However, if you select Go > Utilities > Java Preferences from Finder’s menu bar, Java will automatically be downloaded and installed on the machine if the machine has an Internet connection.

Managing Macintosh OS X with ZENworks 11.2 Configuration Management Defining the Capabilities of the MAC XPlat Agent The version of the ZENworks Adaptive Agent (ZAA) that you install on OS X is based on the XPlat Agent code that is installed on Linux managed devices. This means the installer package can be downloaded from accessing the http:// <primary-server-dns>/zenworks-setup URL in a browser. Just as in the versions of the ZAA that are installed on Windows and Linux platforms, the ZAA for OS X provides: Location awareness - used to determine the Mac machine’s closest server and can also be used as system requirements for Mac Bundles. Impersonation - Actions within Mac Bundles can be run as root if required; even though the locally logged-in user doesn’t have root access.
