For information about running the utility, see 

Chapter 1, “Using the Migration Utility,” on 

page 9

.

5

Run the ZENworks 10 Configuration Management migration utility. The utility adds the 
existing ZENworks 7 Desktop Management objects and associations to the ZENworks 10 
database.
When you run the ZCM 10 migration utility, do not migrate the workstations. Because of the 
ZAM migration utility, the workstations already exist as devices in the ZENworks 10 database. 
Instead, migrate the objects (applications, images, policies, and so forth) and the associations.
For information about running the utility, see the 

ZENworks 10 Configuration Management 

ZENworks Migration Guide

.

6

Uninstall the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Agent from the ZDM 7/ZAM 7.5 
workstations. 
This must be done before installing the ZENworks 10 Adaptive Agent.

7

Deploy the ZENworks 10 Adaptive Agent to the ZDM 7/ZAM 7.5 workstations.
The ZENworks 10 Adaptive Agent is registered in the ZENworks 10 database and linked to the 
correct migrated device object. The migrated device object is then changed to a managed 
device object that has the correct ZDM 7/ZAM 7.5 associations and data associated with it.

A.2  ZAM Migration Utility Messages 

The migration utility generates several messages associated with migration of ZENworks 7 Desktop 
Management and ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management. These messages are designed to help ensure a 
successful migration. 

There are no ZENworks 7 Desktop Management GUIDs in the inventory data.

Explanation: The migration utility did not find any ZDM 7 GUIDs for any of the ZAM 7.5 

workstations selected for migration.

Cause: The workstations have not been scanned using ZENworks 7.5 Asset 

Management IR19 (or later). IR19 includes a modified inventory collector that 
reads the ZDM7 GUID from the workstation’s registry and adds it to the 
inventory data. This shared GUID enables the ZAM 7.5 inventory data and 
ZENworks 7 Desktop Management associations to be reconciled to the same 
ZENworks 10 managed device.

Action: Install IR19 and rescan the workstations (see 

Step 2 on page 37

 for details). If 

you don’t have ZDM 7, ignore the message.

There are devices in your ZENworks Asset Management inventory data that are 
already present in the ZENworks Configuration Management target database.

Explanation: The migration utility found devices in the ZENworks 10 database that have the 

same GUID as the workstations being migrated from the ZENworks 7.5 Asset 
Management database.

Cause: The ZENworks 10 Configuration Management migration utility was run 

before the ZENworks 10 Asset Management migration utility and the ZDM 7 
workstations were migrated to the ZENworks 10 database. Because the ZDM 
7/ZAM 7.5 workstations share the same GUID, the ZAM migration utility
