Does the Desktop Multiplier work with ZENworks?
Based on our initial testing with ZENworks, everything that is based on your eDirectory user account can continue to be managed by ZENworks, including application deployment. This is because the majority of ZENworks management is based on user accounts rather than hardware. Limiting access to directories and files is a combination of ZENWorks and the native Linux file system. From an application perspective, there should be nothing different about deploying an application on Desktop Multiplier system than there would be deploying that application on a stand-alone Novell Linux Desktop installation. On the other hand, any ZENworks function that is hardware based, such as remote desktop control, cannot be done with ZENworks on a Desktop Multiplier installation. Additional ZENworks testing is scheduled to be done the week of November 1, 2005. At that time, we will be working with Novell to extend ZENworks workstation remote control, so the ZENworks administrator can provide remote control
