Check for Updates - ZAA

Saget25 over 6 years ago

Hi, i would like to have some clarification regarding the "Check for Updates" function in ZAA.

Let's say our severs are at version 2017 Update 3a and the clients are at 2017 Update 1.

How does this function works ?

When we click on this option, nothing happens...

I would like to have this update method enabled to give the mobile users some flexibility for the updates to ZAA to be done.

For the moment our mobile users have to contact the helpdesk to receive the update and this is adding more job to what our IT Helpdesk already do...

Thank you !

That only works if the assignment is already made.

Look up the "Stand-Alone Updater" in the Docs.
This will create a stand-alone EXE that will upgrade the Agent.

You can then create a bundle user's can click-on to update their PCs on their schedule vs a push.

Got it !

It is located in the Zenworks System Update documentation :
https://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks-2017-update-3/pdfdoc/zen_sys_updates/zen_sys_updates.pdf

You have to run the zman zcup command to get this bundle prepared.

For 64Bits clients
zman sucp 5017030a00fc50000000002018092713 -p=Windows -a=64

For 32Bits clients
zman sucp 5017030a00fc50000000002018092713 -p=Windows -a=32

Executables installer are created here :

/opt/novell/zenworks/install/downloads/system-update/5017030a00fc50000000002018092713

Then you can make a bundle with them

Will try this !

Thank you again Craig.
