ZENworks 6.5 Suite Administrator's Handbook

Rating:
Summary: Covers Everything
Review: ZENworks (ZEN = Zero Effort Networks) Suite is a set of programs named to reflect the zero effort required by end users and the minimal effort necessary for administrators to manage the desktops on their systems. Since so little effort is required, it almost makes you wonder just why it takes a book of almost eleven hundred pages.

The answer is that the suite of products has become so complete and all encompassing that a large number of individual programs within the suite handle virtually all networking tasks. The suite covers three general classes of hardware: workstations, servers, and handheld devices, and the applications include not only networking but also software distribution and extensive network troubleshooting.

The size of the book is determined by the sheer amount of software included in this new suite. Each program, each function is described in detail as to function, what it is trying to do, and how to interpret the results.
