Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 3 - 10.3 Bundles
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 3 - 10.3 Migration

Situation

A ZENworks Desktop Management application gets migrated a second time overwriting the already created bundle in the ZENworks Configuration Management zone.

Depending the status of the bundle before it got recreated by the migration wizard, the bundle can stay effective with the previous content on the managed devices.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 10.3.1 - see KB 7006265 "ZENworks Configuration Management 10.3.1 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

A fix for this issue is included in ZENworks 11, see KB 7006995 "ZENworks 11 - information and updates" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

Additional Information

Bundle changes do only get reliably effective on the managed devices, if the bundle version got increased.

The fix is that the migration wizard reads the current bundle version and recreates the bundle with a version incremented by 1.
