Environment

Novell ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Support Pack 1 - ZDM7 SP1 Desktop Management

Situation

Importing registry settings from an exported application object that has Legacy Registry System Requirements is failing - the application is imported, but without any registry keys.

Resolution

Fixed in ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Service Pack 1 Interim Release 3a, available at https://download.novell.com

Workaround:

- delete the Legacy Registry System Requirements before you export the application
- delete or comment out the corresponding block in the exported application object file: here is an example

[Filter Registry Key]
Key=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\NWGINA\Login Screen
Flag=Exists
Flag=Show Always
