Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2

Situation

How to troubleshoot Unmanaged Inventory on Windows.

Resolution

To find the initial server to contact, use installer package to list:

zenworks_adaptive_agent_Windows.exe /l

It lists the package details. Example:

FILE: novell-zenworks-umia-11.2.3.18534.msi: SIZE: 573952 CMD: @msiexec@-i@%f@
INITIALSERVER=oracle11.mry.com@PORT=80@SECUREPORT=443@ALLUSERS=1

The server listed is the initial server that will be contacted when the agent is installed.

When the package is first installed, it creates directory:

C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\bin (32 bit)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\bin (64 bit)

In that directory is a subset of agent files that the agent will need to complete the installation:

zenumia.exe
uiaconfig.xml
zenumsvc.exe
<DIR> incomingUIA

The install creates a registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE[\wow32node]\Novell\ZCM\UMIA

which includes values:

Server
Port
SecurePort

With the values taken from the package INITIALSERVER.

The umia agent install creates service: "Novell ZENworks Adaptive Agent Service" to launch zenumsvc.exe.

Prior to the service running, uiaconfig.xml has empty server list.

When the service starts for the first time, it contacts the initial primary server to complete install.

Among the files downloaded are uiaconfig.xml and options.xml

In this xml is the server reference, example:

<server>192.168.0.223:80</server>

On the primary server the files are located here: /var/opt/novell/zenworks/unmanaged/umfilestore/settings/common/uiaconfig.xml %ZENWORKS_HOME%\work\unmanaged\umfilestore\settings\common

On the primary server this logging indicates creation of these files based on zsystemsettings tables umiCS, umiFirstScan, umiScanSchedule, NC_WkstnReconcileData, and using services ZoneConfigAdminService, DeviceAdminService.

services-messages.log

[DEBUG] [08/14/2017 05:38:45.535] [1453] [ZENService] [69] [] [((UM Inventory()] [] [started makeConfigXML] [] [] [] [ZENServer]

[DEBUG] [08/14/2017 05:38:45.602] [1453] [ZENService] [69] [] [((UM Inventory()] [] [Done with makeConfigXML] [] [] [] [ZENServer]

The other files that are pulled down complete the install. This includes exe's, kb's, options etc. for the full current version of the agent.

Thereafter, the service is responsible for launching zenumia.exe which will launch colw32 (collector) for scanning on schedule.

zenumia launches colw32.

Colw32 creates WIF xml files in ZENworks\bin\outgoingUIA directory. The collector logs the collection activity to colw32.log.

Note: On 2017 and later, zenumia launches ZENCollector.

The collector log level can be set in ZCC Configuration Inventory Only Diagnostics. This setting is stored locally in the options.xml file <option name="Diagnostic" state="true" />

zenumia reads the uiaconfig.xml file to determine where to upload the WIF.

To troubleshoot the upload (use only when troubleshooting):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\ZCM\UMIA\Debugging]
"LogName"="zenumia.log"
"LogLevel"=dword:00000001

With this enabled, when zenumia scannow diagnostic is run, the upload of the wif shows this:

<EVENT AT="6/01/2013 8:43:15">

<EVENT AT="6/01/2013 8:43:15">

The return status is a standard http status response.

The primary server services-messages.log shows this:
