ZCM is very daunting at first especially if you're coming from a Netware/Zen7 environment. I haven't found any good instructions, so I figured it out myself.You need to add a user source. The user source will take users from the Active Directory. You will also need to create a user in AD that has permissions to read the directory. Preferably this user won't be able to log on to local machines though. Configuration of user sources is found in the configuration page in Zenworks webadmin. This part is a bit tricky, yet straightforward. I don't have the ZCM10 page on hand to tell you exactly how you need to do this, so hopefully you'll figure it out.
You'll then need to port over your "bundles" from the old environment, or create new ones. Make folders to put the bundles in, for example "General Applications". Then put the bundles in the folders. To start an application the bundle will be a "Windows Bundle" and "Simple Application". The rest is like Zen7. Click the checkbox to change additional settings then assign the bundle to users or computers (I generally make the bundle available in the App launcher and start menu).
Make sure the client is installed by going to http:\\servername:port\zenworks-setup. Note you must be logged into the client as the same user you use to administrate Zenworks. You can add additional users on the configuration page in the Zenworks webadmin tool.
The bundles will appear in the Explorer NalView and start menu if you configured it. However, we want the application launcher!
In the group policy for the users that you want to have the Application Launcher go to User\Administrative Tools\System\Logon\Run these programs at logon. Add "c:\program files\novell\zenworks\bin\nalwin.exe" to the list.
NalWin still supports most of the same registry tweaks that the Zen7 launcher did, such as the ability to prevent the closing of the NalWin.
Hopefully you'll work out the rest without much trouble!
