Environment
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management Migration
Situation
ZEN Migration utility migrates network-based installs into the repository.
Using a ZENworks 7 application that is MSI-based, installing from the network (ie, \\server\path\msifile.msi), when the Migration utility runs, it imports every single file from that directory into the content server.

Resolution
Migrating MSI applications will upload all the files in the network
location to the content system if the path is resolvable.
In order to avoid migrating all application files to content server, migrate
the application as "Install network application".
This is set by disabling the "Upload Application to content server" option in the Settings->Applications section.

not be uploaded to the content server
