ZENworks Endpoint Security
Management Overview
Novell®ZENworks®Endpoint Security Management consists of four high-level functional
components: the Policy Distribution Service, the Management Service, the Management Console,
and the Endpoint Security Client. The figure below shows these components in the architecture:
Figure 1-1 ZENworks Endpoint Security Management Architecture
The Endpoint Security Client is responsible for enforcement of the distributed security policies on
the endpoint system. When the Endpoint Security Client is installed on all enterprise PCs, these
endpoints can now travel outside the corporate perimeter and maintain their security; endpoints
inside the perimeter receive additional security checks within the perimeter firewall.
The following components are installed on servers that are secured inside the corporate perimeter:
Policy Distribution Service: Responsible for the distribution of security policies to the
Endpoint Security Client and retrieval of reporting data from the Endpoint Security Client. The
Policy Distribution Service can be deployed in the DMZ, outside the enterprise firewall, to
ensure regular policy updates for mobile endpoints.
Management Service: Responsible for user policy assignment and component authentication,
reporting data retrieval, creation and dissemination of ZENworks Endpoint Security
Management reports, and security policy creation and storage.
Management Console: The visible user interface, which runs directly on the server hosting the
Management Service or on a workstation residing inside the corporate firewall with connection
to the Management Service server. The Management Console is used to both configure the
Management Service and to create and manage user and group security policies. Policies are
created, copied, edited, disseminated, and deleted using the Management Console.

Installing ZENworks Endpoint
Security Management
The following sections contain additional information about installing Novell®ZENworks®
Endpoint Security Management:
Section 2.1, “Pre-installation Information,” on page 13
Section 2.2, “Installation Packages,” on page 13
Section 2.3, “Installation Options,” on page 14
Section 2.4, “Installation Order,” on page 14
Section 2.5, “Before Installing ZENworks Endpoint Security Management,” on page 14
2.1 Pre-installation Information
The ZENworks Endpoint Security Management installation software should be physically protected
to prevent any tampering or unauthorized use. Likewise, administrators should review the guidelines
for pre-installation and installation to ensure that the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management
system can function without interruption, or be made vulnerable by inadequate hardware protection.
The administrator installing this software must be the primary administrator for the servers and the
domain. If using enterprise SSL certificates, you must also use the same username to create the SSL
Root Security certificate.
2.2 Installation Packages
When installing from the DVD, a master installer program launches that utilizes a simple user
interface that guides the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management administrator through the
installation process. Load the installation DVD on each machine to access the master installer
program to install the desired components.
2.2.1 About the Master Installer Program
At launch, the master installer program displays two menu options: Products and Documentation.
The Products link opens the installation menu. The menu items on this screen launch the designated
installer for each component. In the case of the Endpoint Security Client 3.5 or Endpoint Security
Client 4.0, an additional option is available to launch the installation in Administrator Mode, which
helps the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management administrator create an MSI package for easy
distribution (see Chapter 8.2, “MSI Installation,” on page 57).
For information on the complete operation of the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management
components, see the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management Administration Guide, available
through the Documentation link.

14 ZENworks Endpoint Security Management Installation Guide
novdocx (en) 17 September 2009
2.3 Installation Options
ZENworks Endpoint Security Management back-end components can be installed as either Single-
Server or Multi-Server installations. Single-Server installations are ideal for small deployments that
do not require regular policy updates. Multi-Server installations are ideal for large deployments that
require regular policy updates. Consult with Novell Professional Services to determine which
installation type is right for you.
The Endpoint Security Client can operate (when needed) without connectivity to the Policy
Distribution Service. Likewise, a Stand-Alone Management Console can be optionally installed for
evaluation purposes. The installation for this Unmanaged mode of operation is described in
Chapter 10, “ZENworks Endpoint Security Management Unmanaged Installation,” on page 71.
2.4 Installation Order
ZENworks Endpoint Security Management should be installed in the following order:
1. Single-Server Installation or Multi-Server Installation
Policy Distribution Service
Management Service
2. Management Console
3. Endpoint Security Client 3.5 or Endpoint Security Client 4.0
2.5 Before Installing ZENworks Endpoint
Security Management
There are a few questions the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management administrator needs to
consider prior to beginning installation:
How will your users receive their ZENworks Endpoint Security Management security
policies?
The options for policy distribution center around whether users should be able to receive a policy
update anywhere, including outside the central network, or if they should receive them only when
they are in (or connected via VPN) a secured network. For organizations planning to frequently
update their ZENworks Endpoint Security Management security policies, a Multi-Server installation
is recommended that places the Policy Distribution Service on a Web server outside the DMZ.
What type of server deployments are available to you?
If your organization only has a few servers available, then a Single-Server installation deployment
may be necessary. If server availability isn't an issue, then the size of your client deployment and the
number of users operating outside the firewall should be taken into consideration.
What is your available SQL Server deployment?
ZENworks Endpoint Security Management creates three SQL databases at installation. If your
deployment is small, you can install the SQL database server on the same server as the Management
Service. For larger deployments, a separate SQL database server should be employed to receive the
data from the Policy Distribution and Management Services.

The following RDBMS types are allowed:
SQL Server 2005 and 2008 Standard
SQL Server 2005 and 2008 Enterprise
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP4
If you are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008, you need to configure
your SQL server to support ZENworks Endpoint Security Management. The screenshots in the
following procedure are for 2005, but the configuration steps are the same for 2008.
1Make sure you have Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Management Studio is included with the Standard and Enterprise editions. If you are using the
Express edition (for an evaluation installation), you can download Management Studio Express
from the Microsoft Download Center (http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/
details.aspx?FamilyID=c243a5ae-4bd1-4e3d-94b8-5a0f62bf7796&displaylang=en).
2Launch Management Studio (Start menu > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (or
2008) > SQL Server Management Studio).
3Right-click your SQL server (TC2K3 in the above screen shot), then click Properties.

16 ZENworks Endpoint Security Management Installation Guide

Will you use existing certificates to establish SSL communication, or will you use
Novell Self-Signed Certificates?
For disaster recovery and failover designs, you should use enterprise, or otherwise-issued,
Certificate Authority (VeriSign, GeoTrust, Thawte, and so forth) SSL certificates for full
deployments of ZENworks Endpoint Security Management. When using your own certificates, the
Web service certificate and root CA should be created on the machine designated as the Policy
Distribution Service, then distributed to the appropriate machines. To create an Enterprise
Certificate Authority, see the step-by-step instructions for securely setting up a certificate authority,
available at on the Microsoft Web site.
For evaluations or small deployments (fewer than 100 users), you can use ZENworks Endpoint
Security Management self-signed certificates. Novell SSL Certificates are installed onto the servers
when running the typical installation.
How will you deploy your Endpoint Security Clients?
The Endpoint Security Client software can be deployed either individually onto each endpoint or
through an MSI push. Instructions on creating an MSI package can be found in Chapter 8.2, “MSI
Installation,” on page 57.
Do you want policies to be machine-based or user-based?
Policies can be distributed to a single machine, where every user who logs on receives the same
policy, or policies can be set for individual users or groups.
Each installation has several pre-requisites. It is recommended that each check list of prerequisites
be complete before running the installation for any component. Please review the lists on the
following pages:
Chapter 3, “Performing a Single-Server Installation,” on page 19
Chapter 5, “Performing the Policy Distribution Service Installation,” on page 25
Chapter 6, “Performing the Management Service Installation,” on page 33
Chapter 7, “Performing the Management Console Installation,” on page 45
Chapter 8, “Endpoint Security Client 3.5 Installation,” on page 55

Performing a Single-Server
Installation
ZENworks®Endpoint Security Management Single-Server Installation (SSI) allows both the Policy
Distribution Service and the Management Service to co-exist on the same server, which is not
possible without using this installation option. The server must be deployed inside the firewall for
security purposes, requiring users to receive policy updates only when they are inside the corporate
infrastructure or connected via a VPN.
Deployment of the Single-Server Installation on a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) is not
supported for both security and functionality reasons.
NOTE: It is recommended that the SSI Server be configured (hardened) so as to deactivate all
applications, services, accounts, and other options not necessary to the intended functionality of the
server. The steps involved in doing so depend upon the specifics of the local environment, and so
cannot be described in advance. Administrators are advised to consult the appropriate section of the
Microsoft Technet security webpage (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/default.mspx).
Additional access control recommendations are provided in the ZENworks Endpoint Security
Management Administration Guide.
To protect access to only trusted machines, the virtual directory and IIS can be set up to have ACLs.

For security purposes, it is highly recommended that the following default folders be removed from
any IIS installation:
 IISHelp
 IISAdmin
 Scripts
 Printers
We also recommend using the IIS Lockdown Tool 2.1 available at microsoft.com (http://
www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/locktool.mspx).
Version 2.1 is driven by supplied templates for the major IIS-dependent Microsoft products. Select
the template that most closely matches the role of this server. If in doubt, the Dynamic Web server
template is recommended.

20 ZENworks Endpoint Security Management Installation Guide
novdocx (en) 17 September 2009
Ensure that the following prerequisites are in place prior to beginning the installation:
Ensure access to a supported directory service (eDirectoryTM or Active Directory).
If you are deploying using an eDirectory service, create an account password that never
changes to use for Management Console authentication (see Section 7.2.1, “Adding eDirectory
Services,” on page 49).
For Endpoint Security Client to Single Server server name resolution, validate that the target
computers (where the Endpoint Security Client is installed) can ping the SSI server name. If
unsuccessful, you must resolve this before continuing with the installation. (Change the SSI
server name to FQDN/NETBIOS, change AD to use FQDN/NETBIOS, change DNS
configurations, modifying the local host file on the target computers to include the correct MS
information, and so forth).
Enable or install Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and configure it to accept Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) Certificates.
IMPORTANT: Do not enable the Require secure channel (SSL) check box on the Secure
Communictions page (in the Microsoft Computer Management utility, expand Services and
Applications > expand Internet Information Services (ISS) Manager > expand Web Sites >
right-click Default Web Site > click Properties > click the Directory Security tab > click the
Edit button in the Secure communications group box). Enabling this option breaks the
communication between the ZENworks Endpoint Security Management server and the
ZENworks Endpoint Security client on the endpoint.
If you are using your own SSL certificates, ensure that the Web service certificate and root CA
are loaded on the machine and that server name validated in the previous steps (whether
NETBIOS or FQDN) matches the Issued to value for the certificate configured in IIS.
If you are using your own certificates or have already installed the Novell Self Signed
Certificate, you can validate SSL as well by trying the following URL from a machine that has
the Endpoint Security Client installed:
https://SSI_SERVER_NAME/
AuthenticationServer/UserService.asmx
(where SSI_SERVER_NAME is the server
name). This should return valid data (an html page) and not certificate warnings. Any
certificate warnings must be resolved before installation, unless you opt to use Novell Self
Signed Certificates instead.
Ensure access to a supported RDBMS (Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP4, SQL Server Standard,
SQL Server Enterprise). Set the database to Mixed mode.
3.1 Installation Steps
Select Single Server Installation from the master installer menu. This installation combines the
installations for the Policy Distribution Service and the Management Service. For more information,
see Chapter 5, “Performing the Policy Distribution Service Installation,” on page 25 and Chapter 6,
“Performing the Management Service Installation,” on page 33.
Like their individual installations, the Typical setting installs the services' defaults and the Novell
self-signing SSL certificates. Custom Installation permits the administrator to determine the
directory paths and permits the use of an enterprise-owned certificate authority.
