Environment
Novell
ZENworks Patch Management 6.3 - ZPM6.3 Agent
Situation
A PatchLink
version of the agent was used to install on the workstations and
needs to be overwritten with the Novell ZENworks Patch Management
version.
Need to
overwrite an older version of ZPM agent.
Resolution
Whether using the
command line parameters or a modified UpdateAgent.msi (using Orca),
there are times when the new settings will not apply. The agent
will re-install, but maintain the old settings.
***NOTE: The
only way to get new settings in place is to uninstall the agent
first.
This command
line will uninstall the agent:
msiexec
/uninstall C:\UpdateAgent.msi /quiet
Then the client can
install the agent with the desired settings using this command
line:
msiexec /i C:\UpdateAgent.msi /quiet REBOOTYESNO=NO REBOOT=SUPPRESS HOST=http://
