Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

Workstations with nc_workstation.AssetType (Platform) set to "Generic Workstation" should be updated to "Windows Workstation" when we can recognize them as such. If workstation A existed back when the customer had 3.2, then the upgrade to 7.0 added the assettype column and set it to 2 (generic ws). Subsequent scans do not correct this - assettype stays at 2. An initial scan on the same machine shows that the collector does recognize it as Windows Workstation.

Resolution

Fixed in ZENWorks Asset Management 7.5 Interim Release 3

Interim Releases can be scheduled to run automatically or can be downloaded manually athttps://download.novell.com.
The Interim releases can be set up within the ZAM Manager for the Task server to check the site on a scheduled basis, and download and apply them automatically. Please refer to the Help Section for details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired.

Each interim release is cumulative. If Interim Release 3 is not available due to a newer interim release being placed on the website, be assured that the code needed is in the later release.
