Environment
Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Support Pack 2 - ZDM6.5 SP2 Desktop Management
Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management - ZDM7 Desktop Management
Situation
ZENworks Group Policies randomly don't apply if you login too fast.
Resolution
Workaround: Wait a few more seconds to login.
For ZDM6.5 SP2: fixed in ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management SP2 IR1 or newer found at Novell Downloads
For ZDM7: Fixed in ZENworks 7 with SP1 Desktop Management, available at Novell Downloads
Additional Information
Windows starts up services in alphabetical order. Therefore the ZENworks.... ones are started last. If you boot up and login too quick the workstation manager service is not loaded yet and therefore you don't get policies applied.
