A utility (CMD script) combined with the WGET utility, to download and install the latest available ZCM Client from your primary ZENworks server.

I am using this to manually upgrade ZCM 10.x / 11.x to 11.2.3a.

The script downloads files to the workstation into the directory "%TEMP%\ZENRRWEB\".

When launched, the script prompts the User with a menu to select what to download and install.

After a selection is made, the script downloads the selected stand-alone installer from the primary

The script detects the architecture of the OS and obtains the correct installer. (Windows 32 or 64 Bit only).

Once the download has been verified, the existing client is removed, Full Client or the IOM.

After the removal has finished, the installer then begins.

If installing the Full Client, the script will terminate BEFORE the client installer's process completes.

In this case, the script notifies the user that the installer will prompt when it has completed.

Pressing a key at this point will cause the CMD Window to close.

Click to view.

This is what should be displayed once the Full Client installer is complete.

Click to view.

After rebooting, you will need to manually register the computer to the correct registration key. Since this script is for general use, the machines will register using the default key.

If installing the IOM, the script terminates AFTER the installer is completed.

Note the "Done! Reboot and Test . . ." notification.

Click to view.

If you want it to register automatically to a specific key, search for the line in the script that launches the Full Client installer:

start "" /b /wait "%TEMP%\PreAgentPkg_AgentComplete.exe" "-x"

and modify it to look like this, using your preferred key:

start "" /b /wait "%TEMP%\PreAgentPkg_AgentComplete.exe" "-x -k XXX"

A couple of things you must do if you use this script:

Modify the environment variables defined at the top of the script to contain valid values

Update these:

set __DLHOST=ZEN_DOWNLOAD_HOST_NAME
set __USER=ZEN_ADMIN_NAME
set __PASS=ZEN_ADMIN_PASS

Download WGET and put it in the same directory that you will place the script. The one I am using, I got from here: https://osspack32.googlecode.com/files/wget-1.14.exe.

There is nothing to configure related to the IOM installer.

Copy and paste the contents of this box to a .cmd or .bat file and perform the above mentioned customization.

By the way, this script utilized the code I wrote for my published "(GroupWise) uninstall script" Tool
