Resolution
This is fixed in version 11.2.1 - see KB 7010042 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.21 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7010042
Workaround:
In several cases, the micasacache.dll had not been updated. Unfortunately some of the casa dlls do not report internal version, but file compare to same from a new install shows differences.
Use msiexec /fa to repair the Casa MSI.
Note: CASA.msi - 32 bit or CASA.x86_64.msi - 64 bit can be found in %ZENWORKS_HOME%/install/downloads on Primary server.
Additional Information
A dump shows the crash occurs in CASA_AuthToken - InitializeLibrary - Auth cache initialization failed .
