  1. Confirm the existance of %ZENWORKS_HOME%/share/tomacat/webapps/zenworks-queueadmin.war
  2. Run command prompt as Administrator and stop services with the command, novell-zenworks-configure -c Start
  3. Move the folder "%ZENWORKS_HOME%/share/tomacat/webapps/zenworks-queueadmin" to a safe location.
  4. Run command prompt as Administrator and start services with the command, novell-zenworks-configure -c Start

* If the folder "%ZENWORKS_HOME%/share/tomacat/webapps/zenworks-queueadmin" is not recreated in its original location, move the old folder back.
