Environment

ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with SP1 (10.1)

Upgraded from a previous version of ZCM 10

Situation

Windows Group Policy is not enforced after upgrading to ZCM 10.1

ERROR: "There was an error while enforcing the policy"[policy name]". Please refer the managed device log for details."

Resolution

This is fixed in version 10.1.1 - see KB 7001406 "ZENworks 10 Configuration Management 10.1.1" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

Woraround:
Until you can upgrade to 10.1.1, obtain and deploy "ZCM 10.0.3 to 10.1 Schema Repair Utility" from https://download.novell.com by using the keyword zcm10.1-post-upgrade.zip

Additional Information

This problem only occurs if you have upgraded from a previous version of ZCM - it does not apply for a new install.

This is not the only cause of this error message, but if it occurs immediately after an upgrade to 10.1, it is the most likely.
