Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management Bundles
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Bundles

Situation

Using eDirectory macros (System Variables) in bundle, as specified in the documentation:
https://www.novell.com/documentation/zcm10/zcm10_software_distribution/data/a7vy1i4.html or
https://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks11/zen11_system_admin/data/a7vy1i4.html

e.g., iFolderQuota, or NGW: Object ID in the format %iFolderQuota% and  %NGW: Object ID%

These System Variables are not parsed: instead of %iFolderQuota% being replaced by "2500" for example, it remains as %iFolderQuota%

Resolution

Follow the instructions in Configuring the eDirectory Attribute Special System Variables

Additional Information

"Well-known" variables, such as %Full Name% do work.
