Systems permissions can be assigned to administrators and groups of
systems.
Actions like updates can be scheduled for a system or group.
Systems search allows you to search your systems and groups by package or
errata or system specifications.
You can compare packages between systems or build a package profile to
compare systems against.
The Provisioning module is really useful when you use RHN to create new
clients. Apart from everything in the Update and Management module, you also
get:
Bare metal provisioning A tool to automatically provision a system using
kickstart to deploy OS, packages, and activation keys.
Existing state provisioning Provision a system to take the state of an existing
system of a predefined installation.
A rollback functionality to roll back updates.
Configuration management that can combine with kickstart actions to enable
a complex provisioning action.
Provision applications based on RPMs.
Kickstart configuration writer.
All these options are available in the Hosted architecture. The Proxy and Satellite
architectures add extras like custom channels, integrated network installs, and
much more.
Using RHN it is possible to remote manage the RHD clients. For the Hosted
architecture the management is limited to the OS and applications included in the
distribution. Using the other architectures it is possible to create channels for
third party applications.

More information is also in Satellite server and Red Hat Network (RHN) on
page 162.
Administration of Novell Linux Desktop
The preferred method to update the Novell Linux Desktop is through the use of
Red Carpet. Red Carpet Enterprise has become part of Zenworks. The new
version Zenworks 6.5 includes a Linux Management part that is based on the old
Red Carpet Enterprise code.
