Unable to login as domain user

Environment

Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows
Novell ZENworks Dynamic Local User (DLU)

Situation

When attempting to login as a Windows Domain user, the login always completes as a local Windows user. This is true whether the Domain is entered in the advanced login Windows tab "From" field, or by means of a System or User login profile.

Resolution

It is not possible to achieve a Domain logon when the user is being created by ZENwork DLU.

Cause

Because ZENworks is installed and a ZENworks DLU policy is in effect for the eDirectory user, the local machine name is used because that is what is supplied by ZENworks. ZENworks DLU only creates and manages local Windows accounts.
