Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

ZAM does not always recognize true IBM systems and true Lenovo systems during the scan.  Fro example, ZAM may recognize a true Lenovo system as an IBM system

Resolution

Fixed in ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 Interim Release 14 or newer

Interim Releases can be scheduled to run automatically or can be downloaded manually at https://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 details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired.

Each interim release is cumulative. If Interim Release 14 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.
