Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 1 - 10.1 Policies

Situation

User does not have DLU (Dynamic Local User) policy assigned and tries to login. DLU policy is then associated to user and they try to login to the same PC. Local account is not created, and they cannot login

Resolution

Wait until full refresh has occurred (by default this is between 5 and 6 minutes), see "Random Time to Wait", in the Documentation" Setting the Device Refresh Schedule"

Additional Information

This scenario only occurs if the user has tried to login at least once on this PC before the DLU policy is assigned. If the user has not attempted to login before being assigned a DLU policy, the DLU process should work as expected.
