Microsoft has increased the scalability of its Server Core offering. In the same light, we've configured and released several 2012 R2 and 2016 Core servers into our Test and Production environments. After reviewing the requirements for Zenworks, we noted that Core was not explicitly listed as supported or not supported so we tried deploying the agent. We received a mixed review of successes and failures. Our current direction is to deploy Zenworks to all of our Windows devices so that we can patch, monitor and inventory our current offerings. Having the ability to use the agent on Core servers would give us one-stop shot managing servers.

  • I would love this. I have converted so many of my servers to core and would like to be able to monitor them with ZENworks and use them as primaries.
