Additional Information

Best practices for the upgrades apply - Backup the server, system certificates and database prior to starting process.
When deploying this upgrade - start with the first ZCM Primary Server.
Make sure all other ZENworks primary servers in the zone have the ZENworks services turned off.
After the first Primary server is successful and complete, then upgrade the rest of the Primary Servers.
Once all Primaries are at version ZCM 11.4.1, upgrade the Satellite Servers.
Once all the Satellite Servers are successful and complete, deploy the upgrade to the managed devices.


Note: There is a different ZDC for each specific ZCM version.
Download the correct ZDC. 
Example: ZDC for v11.4.0 only works for ZCM v11.4.0
