Environment

Novell ZENworks Patch Management 6.4 - ZPM6.4 Agent

Situation

From the ZENworks Patch Management Agent.log
"A connection between a PDDM and the agent was closed"

Resolution

This is not an error, this is just a notification message. PDDM.exe is a process that runs in the background on the agent machine. It handles deployments notification. The agent will log this message when PDDM.exe exits from memory. The following events will cause PDDM.exe to exit from memory: User logging off, computer shutting down, PDDM.exe gets killed from task manager.
