ATT - Planning and Implementing a Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management Migration

Description

Course Description

Because the ZENworks Configuration Management architecture is radically different from the traditional ZENworks Desktop Management architecture, you cannot perform an in-place upgrade of ZENworks Desktop Management to ZENworks 10 Configuration Management. However, ZENworks 10 Configuration Management provides a set of tools, called the ZENworks Migration Utility, to help you migrate your data from previous ZENworks products.
The purpose of this course is to familiarize you with the ZENworks Migration Utility and the process for migrating a traditional ZENworks environment to ZENworks 10 Configuration Management. Additionally, this section examines several key components and processes that are useful in migrating ZENworks Desktop Management to ZENworks Configuration Management. By the time you complete this course you should be able to:

• Identify the Differences between ZENworks Desktop Management and ZENworks Configuration Management
• Run Pre-Migration Database Queries
• Identify objects that might cause problems during migration
• Identify objects that might need additional work after migration
• Install the ZENworks Migration Utility
• Use the ZENworks Migration Utility
• Install the ZENworks Adaptive Agent
• Identify Novell Recommendations and Best Practices

This course consists of lecture and a hands on portion. In the hands on portion of this course you use the information learned to migrate the ZENworks Desktop Management objects on the DA-ZDM server to the ZENworks 10 Configuration Management zone (DA-ZONE) on the DA-ZCM server and how to better apply the information taught.
