Environment
Novell
ZENworks 7 Desktop Management - ZDM7 Application Launcher
(NAL)
Novell
ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management - ZDM6.5 Application Launcher
(NAL)
Situation
When
launching NAL Window or NAL Explorer, from the windows startup
group, no icons are seen.
If you run
NALDIAG.EXE, you get an error "Failed to set root for refresh
HRESULT -2147467259".
NALWIN is
being launched in the Login Script with the /u parameter, to launch
an application before the desktop is built.
Resolution
Replace the"@" in the command used to launch NAL in the login script with"#".
Note that
this may make the login process take a few seconds
longer.
Additional Information
If NALWIN is
being launched like this
@C:\progra~1\novell\zenworks\nalwin.exe
: /a=[tree-name]:[app-name] /f /h /u
and then NAL
launched from the Windows startup group, it's possible for the copy
of NAL that was loaded via the login script to be in the process of
unloading itself, when the second instance is
requested.
Replacing"@" with "#" makes the login script processor wait for the first
instance to be completely unloaded before continuing
