Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management

Situation

Create a user policy with a custom group policy in ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Support Pack 1. Change the Windows group policy system.adm file per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231289, for example, to create a custom "hide drives" setting.
After migrating this Windows group policy to ZCM using the migration tool, the policy change is not applied to devices or users upon distribution and activation.
In ZCC, the group policy editor helper does not show the "hide drives" Windows policy in the migrated ZCM policy as enabled.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 10.0.3 - see KB 3486285 "Updates to ZENworks 10 Configuration Management" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support
