Workaround:
1. Using the Group Policy Editor (GPEDIT.MSC), navigate to Computer
Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Scripts > "Run logon

3. Re-enter the policy dialog and change the policy to "Enabled" to ensure that the registry-based policy value of "Enabled" will be written on this machine.
Now the Novell Client lgnwnt32!NWLGDefaultEvtHandler code should recognize that the "Run logon scripts synchronously" policy is in effect on this machine by reading the literal registry-based value, without relying on any platform-specific default policy interpretation which might be currently lacking.
