Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 1 - 10.1 Bundles
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 1 - 10.1 Deployment

Situation

After System Update 10.1.1 is complete and becomes "baselined", it then updates all
agent deployment packages. When a custom deployment package that was created
as a "standalone" package is updated by the system, it is recreated as a
"network" package instead of "standalone".

Additional Information

Steps to reproduce:
1) From a ZCM 10.1 system, create a custom agent deployment package that is "standalone".
2) Go to http://<server>/zenworks-setup and the package will be visible, it should be over 80Meg in size and labeled "standalone"
3) Apply System Update 10.1.1.
4) After update is baselined and all deployment packages are automatically updated, go to http://<server>/zenworks-setup and the package
will be around 500K. It is mislabled as a "standalone", but it is really been transformed into a "network" install.
