Novell ZENworks for Desktops 4 - ZfD4

Novell ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1 - ZfD4.0.1

Novell ZENworks Desktop Management 6.5 - ZDM65

fix

A few possible causes are listed below.

1. There must be only one zenpol32.dll and it must be in "C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks".

2. "C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks" must be in the PATH.
Open a cmd window and type: PATH
Look at the output on the screen and verify that "C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks" is listed among the other paths.

3. Treename needs to be correct under:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Workstation Manager\Identification]
"Tree"="XXX" REG_SZ

4. If the Novell account allows simpler passwords than the Windows Password Policy, and you log in to eDirectory
with a password simpler than the Windows Password Policy, DLU will fail.

5. DLU is disabled on the workstation:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\Workstation Manager]
"DLUAllowed"="0" REG_DWORD
