Environment

Novell ZENworks Desktop Management 7 - ZDM7 Desktop Management

Situation

If a GPO (Group Policy Object) contains a startup script, and the script resides on a network drive, the script does not always get executed. If the script is located on a local drive, it is executed every time.

Resolution

Fixed in ZENworks 7 with SP1 Desktop Management, available at https://download.novell.com

Additional Information

Sometimes the script processing took place before the workstation had completed authentication, and did not have access to the script.
