Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5
Novell ZENworks 7 Asset Management - ZAM7
Novell ZENworks Asset Management 3.3 - ZAM3.3

Situation

Trying to use a CSV list of Machine Names to delete workstations from the ZAM database.
There is currently no functionality in the ZAM manager to take a CSV file and base a query on this.

Resolution

Fixed in https://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=NrFNNr6X_8Y~
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 details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired. Each interim release is cumulative.

Additional Information

In the web console custom reports, you can paste in a CSV list of machine names (using the "in list" operator). Workstations can be deleted by users at the admin or assistant level, fromcustom reports that list workstations, from "readiness" reports, and from the"Find" report.
