Workaround:For 11.2.1 this only occurs if Asset Management is disabled. Go to ZCC > License and set an evaluation License for Asset Management (if the evaluation was previously enabled, contact Novell Technical Services for a key that will allow a one-off extension) . Then go to ZCC > Configuration > Device Management > ZENworks agent and uncheck the Install checkbox for Asset Management.
