Zfd agent problems

[patrick340]

I just upgraded from Zenworks 3 to 4. I'm trying to install the ZFD agents on my workstations using the zfdagent.MSI I copied the nalexpld 3.x files to a folder on my zen server and I'm using the login script below to run the nalexpld 3.x files
REGREAD "HKLM,Software\Novell\ZENworks,Version"
WRITE "VALUE=%99"
IF "%99"="4.00.0012" THEN EXIT
#\\server\sys\zenworks3\nalexpld.exe

I then deploy the zfdagent.msi it deploys fine I reboot and
get a Dr watson message on Naldesk.exe and I have both the nalexpld.3x and 4.x running. If I reboot again then just the nalexpld 4 runs. It seems like the 3.x file is cached in the registry. does anybody have any ideas on how I could correct this?

Server is Netware 6 workstations are NT 4 and 2000 pro

What version of the agent?

Not certain if this is truly related or not, but with the zfd 4 agents, there was an issue doing one of the updates if the original management agents had been installed using the setup.exe file off the cd. There is a registry key to get rid of prior to the update of the management agents, but off hand I can not think of what it was. Check in the text file for the new agents, I believe it was addressed there. I'll try to find it again to and add.

Ya, it was with the 4.0 agent, but usually with only 98 stations.
Here is a cool solutions for that.

Also there is a deal were you have to remove the installpath from the registry.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Novell\ZENworks
