Or of course make it supported!
I want to note that installing and running zman remotely *does indeed work technically*, it just is not documented / supported by the ZCM team. Which I feel it should be at the very least, especially since we neither do have Powershell CMDlets nor a documented HTTP-based API as a possible replacement candidate and running zman is the only supported option for automation *at all*.
See https://www.novell.com/communities/coolsolutions/howto-running-zcms-zman-utility-local-windows-workstation/ for the hack.
With the ZENworks Appliance, being able to use zman from a workstation in a SUPPORTED fashion has become even more essential, so please make this happen.
With the end of Windows Server as primary, it would very usefull to have an supported package of zman for Windows.
We had a lot of powershell scripts using zman commands.
They would be useless if we must migrate to an linux appliance.
