The new policy is not enforced on the device after multiple refreshes
If you have recently assigned the policy to the managed device, wait for a few minutes to see if the policy is simply slow in being enforced.
If it is not enforced within a few minutes, on the ZENworks Control Center, go to the Devices page and select the device where you have assigned a policy.
In the Action menu, select Refresh Device.
On the managed device, open the file /var/opt/novell/zenworks/cache/zmd/PolicyManager/Policies.xml.
Search for the policy you have defined by using its name as the search string.
Refresh the device multiple times.
If you are using the Novell Linux Desktop or SUSEĀ® Linux and you want to change to GDM, KDM, or XDM:
Edit the /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager file as follows:
DISPLAYMANAGER=<<GDM, KDM, or XDM>>
For more details, refer to the GNOME Documentation
Edit the /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome file and add the following to the beginning of the file:
/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/checkEnforcement
If you are using Red Hat* and you want to change to GDM, KDM, or XDM:
Edit the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file as follows:
DISPLAYMANAGER=<<GDM, KDM, or XDM>>
Edit the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession file and add the following to the beginning of the file:
/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/checkEnforcement
NOTE:If you do not want to use the GDM, KDM, or XDM Display Manager, you must manually make changes in the configuration file. This delays the start of the desktop session and allows the enforcement of Gconf-based policies to be completed. To do this, you must create a file similar to /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome (on SuSE/NLD) or /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession (on Red Hat). These files must satisfy the following conditions:
A user without the administrator privilege should not be able to edit the file.
The file should be invoked every time a user logs in using the GUI
Add the following to the beginning of the file:
/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/checkEnforcement
