Environment

Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management Support Pack 1 - ZSM7 SP1 Tiered Electronic Distribution (TED)
Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management - ZSM6.5 Tiered Electronic Distribution (TED)
Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management Support Pack 2 Interim Release 1 - ZSM6.5 SP2 IR1

Situation

Path is not correct when using the 'Keep the same source path'.
Keep the same source path in the Distribution Desktop Application Wizard does not work.
The last part of the directory structure may be repeated in the distribution, for example "\servername\zen\Applications\Sources\hosts\hosts" may translate on the Subscriber as "\\servername\zen\Applications\Sources\hostses\hosts\hosts"

Resolution

For ZSM6.5 SP2: fixed in ZENworks 6.5 Server Management SP2 IR1a Hot Patch 1 found at Novell Downloads

For ZDM7: To obtain early access to a hot patch with the fix for this problem, follow the instructions in KB 3484245 "Updates to Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management" which can be found at Novell Support

Once the update has been applied, it may be necessary to recreate the distribution.
