Environment

Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management
Novell ZENworks 11 Configuration Management Support Pack 1 - ZCM 11 SP1

Situation

When assigning a Local File Rights Policy, if a directory or file does not exist, the Policy will report a warning.
 
WARNING:
 
Category: LFR Windows Policy
POLICYHANDLERS.LFRPolicy.FileNotFound: The file/folder "c:\test" was not found while enforcing policy "LocalFileRights"

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2 - see KB 7010044 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support
 
In 11.2 and later, there is a new checkbox: "Notify if the file or folder does not exist".  By default it is checked.  Uncheck to stop the errors if they are not useful.
