Environment
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.4
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 2017
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 2017
Situation
Managed devices show JoinProxy servers in their serverlists on zenicon or zac zc -l even though the JoinProxy is not defined in any Location or Network Environment server list.
Resolution
This is fixed in version ZENworks 2017 Update 1 (17.1.0) - see KB 7020155 "ZENworks Configuration Management 2017 Update 1 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7020155
For 11.4.3 contact Micro Focus Customer Care ZENworks Technical Support for an official Field Test File with fix.
Cause
In ZCC / Configuration / Infrastructure / Closest Server Default Rule, using the "Verify Server List" is causing JoinProxy role to be added to the closest server list and it can't be removed.
After 2017 update 1, the "Verify Server List" will no longer add join proxy to default CSR, and if it's already there, will remove them.
