Novell NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 5

Situation

Updating ZSM 7 servers using the SP1 CPK adds additional lines to the Autoexec.ncf file.
ZSM attempts to load several times after applyng the ZSM 7 SP1 CPK.

Resolution

Fixed with ZSM71_PolyDist.cpk dated September 26 2006 or later. Download the latest ZEN7_with_SP1_Companion3.iso from Novell Download
Workaround:
Manually change the Autoexec.ncf file.

Additional Information

The CPK replaces ALL lines that have ZFS in them, that are not remarked out by using #, with "apps:\zenworks\zws\..\zfs.ncf".
Verify the checksum of the ZEN7_with_SP1_Companion3.iso to confirm the latest has been downloaded.
