Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Management 3.5 Manuale Utente

ZENworks® ESM 3.5

Administrator’s Manual

The Management Service is the central service for 
ESM. It is used to create authentication credentials, 
design and store security policies and their 
components, and provide remediation through a 
robust reporting service. It provides security 
policies and user information to the Policy 
Distribution Service, as well as providing opaque 
credentials to ZENworks Security Clients. 

Security policies, credentials, and reports are stored 
in an SQL database(s), which may reside on the 
same server as the Management Service or on 
remote servers.

Please refer to the Installation and Quick Start guide for selection and installation instructions.

It is recommended that regular Disk Cleanup tasks be configured to run on this server to remove 
temporary files out of the Windows\temp folder.  Under extreme load conditions windows can 
generate an inordinate amount of temporary files that needlessly take up disk space.

The ESM Management Service software can be upgraded by running the new installation 
software.

To uninstall the Management Service, use the Add/Remove Programs function in the Windows 
Control Panel.

To uninstall the Management Console (when run on a separate PC), use the Add/Remove 
Programs function in the Windows Control Panel.
