Environment
Novell
ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management - ZDM6.5 Application Launcher
(NAL)
Novell
ZENworks 7 Desktop Management - ZDM7 Application Launcher
(NAL)
Situation
If an
Application Object has a Launch Script using the default script
engine (built-in to the Novell client), and the Fully-Qualified
Name (FQN) of the Application Object contains an asterisk, then the
launch script will not execute.
For example,
if the object "launch_calc.*specials.apps.provo.novell" contains a
pre-launch script of
#z:\runmybat.bat
then the bat
file will not be executed.
Resolution
For ZDM7: Fixed in ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Service Pack 1 Interim Release 3a, available at https://download.novell.com
As a workaround, you can
1) Rename
your containers so that they do not contain an
asterisk
2) if
possible, use a different script engine, for example create a batch
file by using "%COMSPEC% /C" as the script processor, and ".bat" as
the extension type
