Wow. There has been a flurry of activity with ZENworks Server Management in the last month or so.

Martin Irwin in WorldWide Support built a set of CPKs to deploy ZENworks 6.5 SP2 across your infrastructure; he is now working on delivering this with the standalone CPK engine (think of this as a small part of the ZENworks Server Management subscriber agent) to all customers. That is way cool.

Peter Lambrechtsen in New Zealand has almost finalised a CPK (hopefully soon with the standalone engine) that will let you deploy ZENworks 7 in your network.

All very cool - and showing real savings for customers deploying ZENworks in an enterprise.

Centralised deployment, across hundreds of servers - in hours. Now that’s value.

McCarran Airport in Las Vegas has fast free wifi.

The JW Marriott Resort in Las Vegas has a voucher-based wifi implementation - but it only blocks ports 8 (http/https) - not anything else. So if you don’t mind not having web browsing you can - hypothetically - do email (GW, POP, IMAP, SMTP), other stuff (SSH, RDP) and also things like IM. Oh well.
