Running Zenworks 6.5 Remote Control with Workstation Manager disabled. Middle Tier server is available.
I have installed in my test environment a Netware 6.5 server with eDir8.7.3.3. I also installed Zenworks 6.5 Desktop Management server as well as Middle Tier Server on the same box.
I installed Zenworks Management agent 6.5 on my XP desktop. I have conducted the following tests:
- Authenticate to eDir thru Middle Tier via ZFD Agent 6.5 with workstation manager running - successful. Policies are applied and remote control works.
- Authenticate to eDir thru Middle Tier via ZFD Agent 6.5 with workstation manager disabled. Unable to remote control the machine. I receive this "error 1456: The Remote Management Agent failed to read the information from the eDirectory server. Verify that the workstation object is valid and the middle tier server is up and running." when I try remtoe control.
- Authenticate to eDir using Novell Client 4.9 SP2. ZFD Agent 6.5 installed and workstation manager running - successfull. Policies are applied and remote control possible.
- Authenticate to eDir using Novell Client 4.9 SP2. ZFD Agent 6.5 installed and workstation manager disabled. Remote control not possible. I receive this "error 1456: The Remote Management Agent failed to read the information from the eDirectory server. Verify that the workstation object is valid and the middle tier server is up and running." when I try remtoe control.
My question here is. How do I get remote control to work with workstation manager disabled on (1) the target location and (2) both target and controlling workstation.
Both workstations have been imported. I ran zwsreg.exe manually.

Hello?
ASKER
Thanks for commenting ShineOn. Workstation Manager (WM) is disabled because I have users who authenticate to both NDS and AD. We have Zenworks policies running which has DLU. If the DLU is applied to users who also authenticate to AD, a local account will be created on their PC and they will eventually authenticate locally and not to the domain.
Trying to avoid creating a separate policy package that does not have DLU.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
(and remove DLU policy from any other user package, of course.)
As you are finding out, the workstation manager is what allows you to manage the workstation. Without the workstation manager, all you have is an application launcher.
Why do you want to manage workstations with the workstation manager disabled?
