Novell
ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Support Pack 1 - ZDM7 SP1 Desktop
Management
Situation
When loading
nalwin32 from login script, or as a login event scheduled action
policy, nalwin32 sometimes hangs at launch. NAL
splash screen does not disappear and application window is not
launched. Running as a
startup process instead of from the script does not cause
hang.
Resolution
Use /time
parameter to cause nalwin32 to launch after script processing is
complete and the desktop is fully set up.
For
example:
nalwin32
/time=30
See "Application Window
Command Line Switches" in the ZENworks Application Management
documentation for more information on nalwin
parameters.
The time should be
sufficient to allow the desktop to be fully built. This can
require more time if using volatile DLU, extensive policies
etc.
Additional Information
This workaround
refers only to when the hang is caused by login script launch, and
symptom is seen even though no applications are associated with the
user. This is not intended to replace troubleshooting to find
a cause when a particular application or other condition causes the
same symptom.
