Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.3

Situation

Windows bundle action is configured to Run as dynamic administrator and the Select credential for network access is populated.
The bundle is configured in a ZENworks Subscription to replicate to another zone.

Delete the select credentials from the credential vault.

Symptom:
The bundle fails to replicate.

Error:
Error message in loader-messages.log:
"...

Resolution

Workaround:
Edit the bundle action and press the clear button next to the Select credential for network access field while field shows as empty. Alternatively you can also select a good credential set.

Cause

While it is not longer visible in ZCC that DAU network credentials had been configured on the bundle action, a related reference is still stored in the bundle metadata in the SQL database.
