Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 2 - 10.2

Situation

In ZENworks 10.2 and later ZENworks Agent Features are modularized.  Since Remote management may use explicit policies, is the Remote Management Agent Feature dependent on the Policy Management Agent feature?
 
Is the Remote Management Agent Feature dependent on User Management Agent Feature?

Resolution

Disabling policy management does not affect Remote Management policies as Remote Management is a standalone component.  The Policy Manager will run in spite of disabling Policy Management to manage Remote Management Policies.

The User Management Agent Feature is not required for the Remote Management Agent Feature.  The rights check does not interact with User Management in any way.
