DISCLAIMER: The service discussed in this solution is NOT an official Opentext Service. This service is hosted on a demo system without any SLA. While I attempt to do the best to ensure the bundles I'm publishing are as close to perfect as possible,
The bundles are updated, but not at regular intervals. Many of the applications are kept up to date in ZPM.

Please also make sure that you have the necessary licenses. Microsoft Office applications are not part of the bundles presented and must be made available in the D: drive.

Some bundles take the language of the installed operating system into account during installation.

Bundles are made for demonstration purposes and should fulfill following requirements:

• User description
• Admin description with version and download link
• Application Icon
• Silent Install including cleanup of any link on the desktop
• Launch
• Repair
• Silent Deinstallation (sometimes with intervention of customer)

On some applications the automatic update has been disabled.

I highly recommend always replicating the content as a sandbox and testing it in your own environment.

An updated attached PDF document to this article will list the functionality.

For a proper installation, you must set the CONFIGDIR variable at system level. Some bundles use variables that can be set at different levels. The HOMEPAGE variable would set www.opentext.com as the home page for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

Setting up a subscription to the MyDemo.biz Zone

Login to your own ZENworks zone.

• (recommended) Create a new folder e.g. MyDemoApps in the Bundles folder and the Policies folder where you want to store the bundles and policies you are going to subscribe to.
• Click Subscribe and Share.
• Click New > Subscription.
• From the subscription types list, select ZENworks Subscription; then click Next.
• Enter a name and description for the subscription you are going to create; then click Next.

• Click the Register with a Zone button. This will display a screen similar to the one below:

• In the Server Address field, enter zenworks.mydemo.biz
• In the Subscriber Key field, enter Go-4-Real-ZENApps
• In the Email Address field, enter your email address. This will allow me to contact you in the event of important updates related to this zone.
• Click Connect to Zone. This will make a connection to my zone and fetch the SSL certificate. Most likely you will receive a message that you don’t trust the certificate as it has been issued by my own Active Directory Certificate Authority.
• Click the Register button to accept the certificate and register to my zone; then click Next.
• You can now select from the available bundles the ones you want to download. If you want to download all current and subsequent bundles simply select the top level folder and choose the option to Replicate all of the bundles in the folder.
• (recommended) Make sure the bundle folder is set to the folder you created in step 2.
• Click Next.
• You can now select from the available policies the ones you want to download. If you want to download all current and subsequent policies simply select the top level folder and choose the option to Replicate all of the bundles in the folder.
• (recommended) Make sure the policy folder is set to the folder you created in step 2
• Click Next.
• (optional) If you want your server to periodically check-in with my zone, setup a recurring schedule.
• Select a server to communicate with my server and fetch the bundles and policies you selected; then click Next.
• Review your selections and click Finish.
  
  I recommend you leave the default options for other subscription settings. This means that by default any time you subscribe to a bundle or policy in my zone it will be automatically created as a sandboxed version in your environment. This allows you to test the bundle before it is deployed fully in your environment.
