ZENworks® ESM 3.5 Administrator’s Manual 100
ZSC Update
Patches to repair any minor defects in the ZENworks Security Client are made available with
regular ESM updates. rather than providing a new installer, which will need to be distributed
through MSI to all endpoints, ZSC Update allows the administrator to dedicate a zone on the
network which will distribute update patches to end-users when they associate to that network
environment.
To access this control, open the Global Policy Settings tab and click the ZSC Update icon in the
policy tree on the left
Figure 76 : ZSC Update
To facilitate simple and secure distribution of these patches to all ZSC users, perform the
following steps:
Step 1: Check Enable to activate the screen and the rule
Step 2: Select the location where the ZSC will look for the updates. Due to the recommendations
in the next step, the location associated with the enterprise environment (i.e.: the "Work"
location) is the recommended candidate
Step 3: Enter the URI where the patch has been stored (Note: This will need to point to the patch
file, which can be either the setup.exe file for the ZENworks Security Client, or an MSI
file created from the .exe). For security purposes, it is recommended that these files be
stored on a secure server behind the corporate firewall
Step 4: Enter the version information for this file in the provided fields. Version information is
found by installing the ZENworks Security Client and opening the About screen (see the
ESM ZENworks Security Client User's Guide for details). The version number for
STEngine.exe is the version number you will want to use in the fields
Each time the user enters the assigned location, the ZSC will check the URI for an update that
matches that version number. If an update is available the ZSC will download and install it.
