ZCM 11.2.3a Delayed

Recent information is that during testing a new bug was discovered that could cause issues when upgrading.  The good news is this was caught in testing rather than after it was released.

Another item that was brought up is a new TID related to updating the ZENworks News Items in ZCC.  Some didn't get a hold of the original 11.2.3, but apparently there may be an issue with some folks not seeing an item regarding 11.2.3. If you're one of the people that didn't see something regarding 11.2.3 and are running on Linux, try this out:

The conference is only $230 (after using discount code "novell"), and the ATT courses are $100 for a half day class and $200 for the full day class. This is a great learning opportunity, especially for those that did not make it to BrainShare. The conference is in Utica, IL which is about 1 hour south of Rockford / 1.5 hours west of Chicago / 1.5 hours east of Quad Cities.
