Learning NewsQA

QA-IQ is launching 'Jumpstart' courses for the revolutionary new Novell Desktop Management solution. The latest ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) product from Novell is the first to work with Microsoft's Active Directory as well as Novell's own eDirectory.

Available from August 17, these courses will give network administrators their first opportunity to understand the significant benefits of this new product, including improved user desktop management compatible with Microsoft's Windows Vista.

QA-IQ's Principal Technologist specialising in Novell, Andrew Mallett, explains; "This is a truly spectacular product, and is one of the first to benefit from the partnership between Novell and Microsoft. It will install on to a Windows or Linux-based system, and with an open directory structure can gain its user configurations from either Active Directory or eDirectory. Novell's configuration management systems can provide a wide range of imaging, inventory and deployment tools, but it's essential that administrators and network managers have the skills to use them to their best advantage.

"The Jumpstart course will introduce version 10 of ZCM and give attendees the skills they will need to install the system on either a Windows or Linux host and configure their directory integration. Organisations will be able to use the ZCM 10 to roll-out either Windows XP or Vista installations , and deploy their application set, as well as remote management and reporting."
