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.

Hi Craig,

Do you know if there is a way for the update to have a similar behavior when launched this way ?

When we launch it with local administrator credentials we have console windows flashing every seconds for 2-3 minutes ( Unpleasant and not reassuring for the users )

If we launch it as a system task then we don't see the % percent of progress and never actually know when the setup is finished.


I have tried a couple known command line switches but they don't work...

Any idea ?

You can pre-extract the installer, which I believe prevents all those DOS boxes.
Run "installername.exe /?" for the command line parameters.

You will need parms to tell it where to extract, to not install(extract only, and the destination.

something like installer -a -x -d c:\temp

Just pulling from very long term memory.

If you want to run as system.......
You can set it to "not wait" to finish.
then run the next action as "user".
I can't recall the process name, but it is the small progress notifier in system tray.
Just check task manager.
You may also need to kill the existing process before you start the process as user.

Sorry for being a bit vague....It's been a while since I've done all of this, but the process has not changed.....
