For the time being (until the next version of OES comes out) if you want
to "automatically" install patches on your client machines. Follow the
above article to setup a "Mirror" (be sure to use the yup package from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mge1512/SLE_10/noarch/
and be sure to specify GA & SP1 for YUP_SUBVERSIONS).
Then once the mirror is setup, simply have a script on all of your
desktops that runs:
zypper --non-interactive update --type=patch
Alternatively you can try to setup "Automatic Updates" within Yast,
although that seems to be a hit and miss for me (zmd issues I think).
Also, if you really want to get Zenworks running, I would highly
recommend you to try out the Zenworks Public Beta.
