On some workstations, the Zen appears not to be working correctly. When users login, they receive a secon login window (Windows Workstation) asking them to type user name and password. At that time only local user name with password works. We use Zen 6.5 with Windows XP Pro. Any suggestions?
P.S. When a user goes to a diffrent computer, he sees no such window at all.....

Thanks for that. Much appreciated. Will give it a go when I get back to
the office on Monday.

Recently, we've had to introduce AD because of certain application which
we've deployed and which are dependent on AD.

We use Zenworks 6.5 group policies.

We've configured a number of PC's (pilot) to log in to both eDirectory
and AD and found that Zenworks group policies are being overwritten by
what must be some default AD group policy. At any rate, the Zenworks GPs
are not being applied for these test PCs.

Any way to log into both AD and eDirectory and ensure that Zenworks group
policies still apply?

I use vbs-script that checks if there is logged in user (if there is it
doesn't try to power off machine) and makes markings in event log (in
Finnish):

On Error resume next

strComputer = "."

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.LogEvent 4, "Haetaan kayttaja."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colComputer = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")

For Each objComputer in colComputer
kayttaja = objComputer.UserName
Next

WshShell.LogEvent 4, "kayttaja nakyy nain:" & kayttaja

If isnull(kayttaja) Then

WshShell.LogEvent 4, "kayttaja oli (null)."

Set objWMIService = GetObject _
("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")

For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
objOperatingSystem.Win32Shutdown(8)
Next

WshShell.LogEvent 4, "yritettiin sammuttaa kone"

End If

WshShell.LogEvent 4, "Scripti loppuu."

Wscript.Quit

does your "logged" user have enough right to do a shutdown ?
aren't there any policies that disable it ?

the workstation object has a "1" appended to its name.

the only change or event that occurs was replacement of network card.
I noticed one workstation has one mac address in the "zenwmMACAddress"
field and the second object has two mac address'
weird ? or logical ?

thank you for your help
Pascal

Can you post the syntax that you are using to install the agent?
You are not using a ZENWorks Application object right?

Hi, Marcus,

That's a creative solution, but I don't think that it will work for me.

The problem that I'm having is that I initially tried to place
the "campus" or top-level container in the "Included Workstations" DLU
allow list with the hope that the "information" would flow down to all of
the workstaion sub-containers. This method failed. What did work was
associating each individual workstation container. This isn't an ideal
solution in our directory stucture (please refer to the attachment
included in my original post). It's almost like there needs to be some
sort of DLU "allow list" search policy in place.

I am planning on updating all of our ZENworks servers (all 14) to v.7 sp1
during the upcoming holiday break. Perhaps I'll have better luck then!

John

Where can I find an installer for
this so I can add it to workstations that have the newest client?

Thanks!

When a network administrator logsd in ( with no policy associated with
them) there is no delay.
