Environment

Novell ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1 - ZfD4.0.1.
Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management - ZfD6.5.
Novell Application Launcher (NAL).

Situation

"Problem: Application Launcher NT Service was not found to run the application as system user."
If several force-run applications are set to run as Unsecure/Secure System User, a messagebox may be displayed with the above error. This may also be seen if launching many apps manually, that are set to run as Unsecure System User.
Turning off hyperthreading on workstations resolves the error message.

Resolution


For ZENworks for Desktops 4.0.1, fixed in ZFD 4.0.1 IR7
For ZENworks 6.5, fixed in ZENworks 6.5 SP2
