Environment
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management Installation - Agent
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2
Installation - Agent
Microsoft Windows 7
Situation
When the ZCM agent is installed on Windows 7, the necessary firewall ports are opened for the current network type (public, private or Domain). If the machine is moved to another network type, the firewall ports are not opened.
Firewall not being opened on all hardware profiles on 11.2 devices and Remote Control (RC) fails if the hardware profile changes.
If the firewall is opened manually on the new hardware profile, RC is successful.
