Some of the issues that were discovered in the original shipping version of ZENworks 10 Configuration Management (10.1) have not yet been resolved. Review the Release Readme for continuing issues. The Release Readme has been updated to indicate which issues were fixed by the update.
This section contains information about the known issues discovered in version 10.1.1.
Workaround: Upgrade the ZENworks Server and the managed devices to version 10.1.1.
To update agents:
Complete the ZCM Update 10.1.0 to all devices in the Management Zone.
Ensure that the status of the ZCM Update 10.1.0 is .
If there are Agents that cannot get the deployment of ZCM 10.1.0, click or and mark those Agents as .
Deploy to all servers in the Management Zone.
Deploy to all managed devices in the Management Zone.
Any devices that are assigned the prior to the ZCM Update 10.1.0 being Baselined correctly apply the "ZCM Update 10.1.0" first; however, this results in multiple reboots.
For more information, see TID 7001539 in the Novell Technical Support Knowledgebase.
Until the fix for this issue is incorporated in a future System Update, a field test file can be downloaded from the Novell Downloads page by searching for ZCM_10_1_1_SystemUpdate_434844.

When the agent is registered, you can see that the "pending" count for devices to receive the 10.1.1 update increases by 1.
If you have uploaded the WIM Imaging file on a Primary Server or an Imaging Satellite Server, the WinPE Maintenance mode is not available in the PXE mode after you apply the system update. Consequently, you cannot perform ZENworks Third-Party Imaging in the WinPE Maintenance mode.
Workaround:
Before applying the system update, take a reliable backup of pxemenu.txt. The file is located in the /srv/tftp/ directory on Linux and in the installation_path\novell\zenworks\share\tftp directory on Windows.
