Situation
ZCM passthrough authentication is disabled or failing
User logs in through task bar icon
Policy settings to be applied during user login like DLU, Roaming Profile or Group Policy are not effective.
User logs in through task bar icon
Policy settings to be applied during user login like DLU, Roaming Profile or Group Policy are not effective.
Resolution
This is working as designed.
Cause
This is done to prevent undesired behavior like enforcing a Windows
user log off trying to get policy settings effective or only having
Group Policy settings partly applied.
Additional Information
On next ZCM agent refresh after the manual login, such policies are
still getting applied as much as possible likely causing such
effects like enforcing Windows user log off or only partly
effective group policy settings.
