2. Decide which ZENworks components to use and whether they should reside on one or more servers.

3. Install the ZENworks components. This can be done simultaneously on multiple servers.

4. Install the middle-tier server. If you want to run it on NetWare 5.1, install an Apache Web server on that box, too. Then run the ZENworks installer to get the middle-tier server loaded.

5. Add a DNS entry for "zenwsimport" to point to the import server. Workstations can't be managed unless they're imported into eDirectory. ZENworks' autoworkstation import feature automates this with a DNS entry or a local host-file entry for zenwsimport. The ZENworks client then contacts the appropriate server to register its workstation with eDirectory.

6. Install the management agent on clients. The ZENworks management agent can be distributed via the ActiveDirectory domain or by placing it on a Web page for users to install.
