      Client for Open Enterprise Server (Novell Client)
      ZENworks Desktop Management

Environment

Windows XP SP 3
Novell Client 4.91 SP5
ZDM Agent 7SP1IR5HP2

Situation

When using a ZDM policy with DLU and volatile user, on a password change (after the password has expired), the profile directory is not deleted and after a reboot, a new profile directory is created. This happens on every password change, which causes several directories to be present on the workstation.

Resolution

There is a setting in the Novell Client that conflicts with the ZDM setting. To prevent the profile directories not to be deleted, change the following setting to off: Advanced Login> Windows Password Synchronization
