Have setup template file to backup office configurations files (signatures,
auto-correct, etc) and it works fine, however it will not backup anything on
IE. Mainly we are trying to get IE favorites and cookies. Has anyone ever
experienced these issues?

Hi,

Our technicians have reported that DDNA copies over MS Outlook 2003 PSTs and
settings without issue and properly applies the user's migrated settings to
Outlook. They've found a problem in that the PSTs are only registered with
Outlook for the initial run of the program. The second time Outlook is
launched, the PSTs are unregistered with the program and the techs have to
recreate the links. In other words, the PSTs are still there, just not setup
in Outlook. Has anyone run into this problem before. We're using DDNA from
ZENworks 7.

Hi Jeff

we have solved this on the following way:
Collection:
- copy the template (example.dtf)to C:\\ in the befor launch script
- run the collect as unsecure system user and save the result dna in C:\\
- copy the result dna file into the user homedir trough a after launch script

thanks for the answer. now to look into CIFS ... (i know it's installed
at least)

Out of curiousity, I used another workstation that has the Novell Client
on it as well and this time, after restarting the computer (and having to
open the application window to start the object), the application ran and
collected the user profile's DNA and migrated it to the proper
destination. Just doesn't work with only the ZENworks Desktop Management
agent installed.

OK so I changed %%CN%% to "Admin" in the application object and restarted
laptop and logged in as Admin in the ZENworks Desktop Management
authentication screen. Nothing happened until I clicked on the
application windows and then it tried to launch CollectDNA but then I get
the Application Launcher status: the network path was not found.

I saw an earlier response you gave to someone else who had the same
message and did the same but still get this error message.

Do you see anything else that I'm doing incorrectly?

Here's the scenario:

25 WXPSP2 laptops with only ZENworks Desktop Management agent installed.
Laptops have at least 4 user profiles each. All laptops have same
configuration. I want to create just one image for all laptops and am
using personality migration to handle the different user profiles on each
laptop.

We are using ZENworks 7 on a NetWare server.

Using the DNA Template Editor, I create a template by selecting All local
user profiles on source machine, selecting User Accounts Settings under
System, and name the template DNAusers.dtf.

I then create an application object, CollectDNA, to collect the
personality following the instructions in guide. I associate CollectDNA
with a workstation and select Force Run and App Launcher. This is the
parameter setting: (There is no VOL1 on this server)
/D \\Server1\SYS\ddna\data\%%CN%%\X-REMOTE1 /T \\Server1
\SYS\ddna\templates\DNAusers.dtf /X

We use Personality Migration from ZENworks 7. Everything seems to be working ok except for the printer migration. I'm able to export the settings from a win2k installation, but when I try and import them back to a windows xp installation the printers don't migrate correctly. Usually it will spray printer icons on the desktop and then bring up the add new hardware wizard. If I cancel out of the new hardware wizard most of the printers install correctly, but sometimes the printers just don't import. I can see them in the registry, but they don't show up in the control panel. They won't show up either if I just try and reinstall them. I have to completely remove the printer from the registry and then reinstall.

I've seen a couple other threads on this with no responses. Is there no work around for this?
