The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

"Force Running" not working as expected with Registry Keys using ZENworks 7.0 IR3

Asked by Ghost96 in Novell Netware Network Software

Tags: , , , ,

Well guys and gals...I posted in the Novell Forums with no response so I figured what the heck, I'll try EE!  Here's a quick copy/paste:

Ok - I gotta just finally post here for this issue I'm having.

I'd rather be a little vague on how I have eveyrthing configured, but ask
away.  I don't want to sell anyone on how I have things configured.

Quick Rundown:

[1] At any rate, whenever I'm looking to constantly run a registry key
during login and have it update...it doesn't.  Yet, if I were to
"verify" it, it'll then run again and force the registry key changes that
I have requested to happen during the force run process during login.

[2] All force run registry changes are set to user accounts and not
workstations.

[3] I can choose any of the "distribute always" settings (1, the other,
both [options or registry settings]) and it makes no difference.

[4] If I up the version, it works every time - the application will
install again/push the registry keys out.

[5] Caching is enabled, but even if I delete the cache, it won't re-
distribute the settings.  It'll add the hidden folder back, but it won't
process the settings.

[6] Running the latest ZENworks server pieces and workstation pieces
(they match) with Netware Client 4.91 SP4 with a few post-patches.

Fast example: I'm looking to have Rogue Process Management push out the
processes that I want terminated...and that works great.  But when I
login as an admin, the reg key doesn't get deleted (thereby killing the
functionality of RPM for admins) unless I verify the force run'ned
registry changes.  Essentially, activate it for students and de-activate
it for admins.

Let me know if you guys need any further details.  I have followed this TID here:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/zdpr/index.html?page=/documentation/zdpr/zdpradmn/data/ahl31o3.html

And that has the process management setup and working great.  It's really a force run issue (seemingly) that I can't seem to push out via every single login.  Works once, then stops until I verify again or up the version itself.  The values seem right, as doing this manually (via my own "home-made" registry keys) will kill RPM instantly, or enable it, depending - which is what I've been doing lately for further testing.

I can include any type of movie or screenie, but figured I'd up a few pics of how I have the stuff right now.  I'll also add that all the values have a "Create Always" value associated with them.

Thanks for any help!  (All machines are Windows XP by the way (at least SP1-SP2))
