tasks in your ZENworks Management Zone. The following sections provide information about the
ZENworks Control Center:

ZENworks Linux Management also includes the zlman command line utility to help you manage
your ZENworks system. The zlman utility lets you perform the same tasks you can perform in the
ZENworks Control Center, with the exception of imaging and preboot tasks. For more information,
see
Section 4.1, “zlman,” on page 45 .
3.1 Where the ZENworks Control Center Is
Installed
The ZENworks Control Center is installed on all ZENworks Servers in the Management Zone.
You can perform all management tasks on the Primary Server and most management tasks on the
Secondary Servers. The one management exception on Secondary Servers is the manipulation
(adding, deleting, modifying) of packages in a bundle. This task is not supported because the
Primary Server is the source server for packages, meaning that packages are replicated from the
Primary Server to Secondary Servers on a regularly scheduled basis. Manipulating a package on a
Secondary Server rather than on the Primary Server would result in the modified package being
replaced (or removed) the next time the Secondary Server's packages were updated from the
Primary Server. For more information about replication of packages, see
Chapter 24, “Replicating
Content in the ZENworks Management Zone,” on page 291 .
3.2 Accessing the ZENworks Control Center
1 Using a Web browser that meets the requirements listed in “ Administration Workstation
Requirements ” in the Novell ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management Installation Guide , enter the
following URL:
https:// ZENworks_Server_Address
Replace ZENworks_Server_Address with the IP address or DNS name of the ZENworks
Server.
The ZENworks Control Center requires an https:// connection; requests to http:// are redirected
to https://.
2 When prompted for login credentials, use the Administrator user with the password you
provided during the installation.
