Situation

When you set the Distributed Server Package to email on certain events, such as Level 1 -- Errors, it sends too many messages and not all of them are errors.

Resolution

For ZSM6.5 SP2: fixed in ZENworks 6.5 Server Management SP2 IR1a or newer found at https://download.novell.com/patch/finder

Setting the package to email on Level 1 -- errors should then only result in emails if there is a genuine error.
