ZCM 10.1.x The SU (System Update) is not going 'Baselined'

Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 1 - 10.1

Situation

The SU has successfully downloaded and deployed to most devices.
The SU is in a 'Pending' state.
Some devices in the deployment list were deleted from the environment after the SU was deployed.
Deleted devices are no longer in the deployment device list.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 10.2 - see KB 7003225 "ZENworks Configuration Management SP2 (10.2) - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support
 
Workaround:  redeploy the SU to all devices to refresh the device list to current devices.  The redeployment picked up the existing deployment  and went to 'Baselined' status (deployments merge) because all current devices = 'Successful'.  Existing deployments can be deleted but it is not necessary.
