Environment

Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Support Pack 2 - ZCM 11 SP2 Policies

Situation

After applying ZCM 11.2 Monthly Update 1, if the Group policy Helper MSI (novell-zenworks-grouppolicyhelper-11.2.0.16054.msi) is launched from Windows Explorer, it doesn't show the publisher name as "Novell, Inc.". It shows as "Unknown Publisher".

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2.1 - see KB 7010042 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2.1 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7010042

Workaround:
This is cosmetic and can safely be ignored. Once the helper is installed, the correct publisher can be seen in Control Panel.
