Frankly I never really got to much of the Mgmt stuff - even though
that was what I really wanted it for besides patching of course -
The problem is that Zenworks never really has worked well with
SLES10/SLED10. There seems to be a nasty case of version mismatch.
When Zenworks 7 came out it didn't know about SLES10/SLED10 (even
though it was in alpha or beta at the time). Then Zenworks 7.2 showed
up - a royal disaster (an alpha product that was shipped) I couldn't
even get the server to install on a SLES10 box and we won't even talk
about the clients for SLES9 systems that shipped with 7.2 - they are a
total mess - wouldn't even install on a SLES9 SP3 system. Now
SLES/SLED 10 SP1 has shown up and Zenworks is nowhere to be found -
all they seem to talk about is Zenworks 10 for Windows. It would be
nice to see 7.2 work for Linux first.
In case you haven't noticed my frustration with Zenworks is fairly high.
I have a common reframe - Zenworks could be an amazing product if the
Suse & Zenworks folks ever started talking to each other. I sometimes
wonder even if Zenworks even wants to deal with Suse at all. They
seem much more interested in managing - patching Windows boxes.
Sorry to be so negative but to date my experience hasn't be good at all -
I keep hoping for more - we will see.

Personally I think it **could** be a really, really great product if the Zenworks folks could ever get it to deal with with SLES10 correctly. I love being able to use rug to update stuff from the command line -
Thanks for the answer.
Are you using only the patch management or the entire Linux Management suite?
Because, with a local yum server, you could already update stuff with rug from the command line without having to install another software.
