Environment

Novell ZENworks Full Disk Encryption 11.3 FRU1

Situation

The device has a Full Disk Encryption Policy assigned and preboot authentication is enabled.
The 11.3 FRU1 update has been applied the device.

After applying the update, the preboot authentication GUI shows the SECUDE instead of Novell logo




Resolution

This is only a display issue and does not have functional impact.

Workaround:
1. Remove the Full Disk Encryption policy assignment (which triggers hard disk decryption and removal of preboot authentication)
2. Add the assignment back

Once preboot authentication is restored, the PBA GUI shows the Novell logo again.
