Windows 7 with MDT - Novell Client / Zen Agent?

Been creating my Windows 7 reference image using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT - pretty cool). I'm wondering if any of you do the same, and if you do, do you include the Novell Client in the image? what about the zenworks agent? If so, what techniques are you using to install.. etc.
Thanks!

You can use this during your sysprep process that way it does not matter if it is installed or not.

Henging at log in window with new image client OS 10.4.8

Hello everyone
I need help to solve this problem.
I upgraded OS Server 10.3.9 to OS Server 10.4.8. Everything worked well so far.
Alle client machines with OS 10.3.9 (old image) did not heng at the log in window, but NEW IMAGE with OS client 10.4.8
I tried to use some accounts (which are already created by the old image) to log in the new image. It just hang at the log in window.
Why and what should I do now?
Please don´t tell me to do Server from beginning, because it is over 400 users
Thank you

Still having problems?
Please be more verbose about your setup. What images? What accounts are created by the old image? Where are they created?
How can accounts living in OS 10.4 Server's LDAP database be created by the (old) image of a OS X Client OS? I'd expect them to be created through Workgroupmanager.app.
And so on...

Removing Novell Client from Windows 7

Hello,
We have an issue with programs running slowly on our SUSE Linux server 11.0. We set up a test machine with Windows 7 without Novell Client and the same programs run extremely fast. (They run fast on a Windows 2008 server too with or without the client.) This is great for the new test machine but I have about 20 workstations that need to have the Client removed. If we remove it through control panel (both NICI and Novell Client - whatever version is installed) the programs are still slow. However, if we do a restore to the time before the Novell client was installed, the machine is fast. Because these machines have had the Novell Client installed for months, we cannot go back to an old restore point. Is there some registry file or other file that needs to be removed or changed to make the computer like it was installed without the Novell Client? I really do not want to have to rebuild 20 computers in order to fix this. I have researched the web and forums and cannot find any information about anything else that needs to be changed when the Novell client is removed. FYI - this is the same on our few Windows XP machines with the appropriate last updated Client on them.
Any help would be welcome!

We have had many issues with the Novell Client / Windows 7. Here is what we have done to get to an acceptable point.
We are running OES 11SP1 fully updated up until July (Getting ready to apply more updates), we are also talking about switching from CIFS to Samba as we have been seeing some weirdness with CIFS and NSS disconnects.
OES11 SP1 - Primary File Server NSS with CIFS
OES11 SP1 - DSFW/DNS Server for Domain Authentication for the CITRIX Servers, this server also runs ZCM 11.2.2 (Also going to update this as we need windows 8 support and the ZCM Agent has some issues at this level; however ZCM has a horrible way to apply updates and is time consuming)
OES11 SP1 Squid Proxy With transparent user authentication using LDAP with SquidTrust. Also has NSS Shares
Other servers exist as well.
We standardized on Novell Client 2 SP3 or Greater. Currently SP3 IR3 is what is in use. But prior to SP3 the client had many issues for us.
Also, We do not use Group policy with ZCM (We tried But it was painful and slow and policies would randomly just quit working / remove themselves) we reverted back to just digging in and finding the registry keys. If a key only existed in the Policy Section we put it there and do a GPUPDATE /force on login.
Server Settings:
Disable OPLOCKS
Workstation Settings:
NW Client Settings
File Commit (Enabled)
File Cache (Disabled) - NW Client Setting
Name Services DNS / SLP Only (Default on the newer Netware Client)
Win7 Machine Settings:
Static DNS Server - Set to the internal servers only. No external server set. The win 7 machines for some reason would use the secondary DNS Server randomly instead of the primary, never really dug in on why but disabling / removing a public DNS Server as the secondary and adding in a second internal.
MS Client For Microsoft Networks Remove, We tried changing the preferred order on the network adapters with no help. I believe the fact that we are running CIFS on the Server side the client is having issues with deciding on how to connect to the NSS Volumes when the client is installed. With the MS Client removed we see a huge improvement In the Novell client.
Libraries Disable - Registry - We redirect Documents Folders and such and these libraries are wanting to index the locations. As the Libraries consist of multiple locations.
Offline Files Disable - Registry
Windows Search Disable Registry (Service)
Zone Mapping - Registry Adds the servers & domain to the Trusted list for the OS (Even though it says Internet Explorer its used by other portions of the OS)
User Access Control Registry
I have others that helped but this is the short list of changes that made major improvements.
When I have a moment I will look back and see if there are other major changes. This is just what I remember.

DHCP Conflict between ZfD 4 Agent and Novell Client

I am having problems with the use of Novell Client versions that support
DHCP settings tab (Tree, Context, Server).
This is in this board because my problem is only reproduced when ZENworks
for Destkops 4 (IR5 and IR7) Workstation Management component is installed.
THe problem is this:
Every now and then, logging in with the novell client displays 886f errors
in the login results window, and other strange communication errors.
If I release and renew the IP, it works fine after that.
If I reboot, there is a chance I get the same problem.
This absolutely does not happen when I have the two options for DHCP
settings in the Novell Client unchecked (Server->Binary Data).
Now, is ZfD Workstation Manager getting the Preferred Server IP from DHCP
as well during system startup? Is this clear? Happens on both Windows
2000 and Windows XP.
I have no access to the router serving DHCP so I don't know the details on
that end.

There was (is?) a conflict that is supposed to be solved,
but I'm not 100% convinced that is true. Since I always
use Client32 I remove novdhcp.dll in my ZfDAgent transform,
even now with ZDM7 because I've seen the "semaphore" error
there too if I don't.

Novel Client for Windows 3.1

I recently was asked to support a windows 3.1 server with a Novel client
on top of it. It looks like the client has crashed so I am trying to find
out where I can get a copy of the Novel client that will work with
windows 3.1.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

NetWare DOS Client
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13555.html
Keep scrolling down past the link for dw271e.zip (which is the 32-bit
client for DOS and Windows 9x), and you'll get to the links for
vlm121_x.exe, which represent the Novell Client probably last used for
Windows 3.10.
Or, KEEP scrolling down and you can scroll right into 1994 and a link
to where NETX v3.32 PTF may be found.

Group Policy causes novell client to never show up windows XP

Hello,
I've been having a problem for the last couple of months that I have no
idea how to fix. I'm using Windows XP SP1, Novell Client 4.91, and
Zenworks 3.2 (included in Novell Client 4.90 SP2). This is a Netware 6
server. I am running E-trust Antivirus 7.1.192. I am having a problem
where the novell client will not show up after restarting the workstation.
An hourglass comes up for a couple of seconds, disappears, and then I'm
left with a blank screen and a mouse curser. The only thing I can do is
power the machine down manually, no keystrokes work at that point. It
doesn't happen all the time, it's completely random, but it occurs often
enough for the users to complain.
The source of the problem seems to be the group policy that is in effect
for students (this is a K-12 school district). If I disable the group
policy for students, the problem appears to go away (this is not an
option). If the login screen shows up, then everything else on the
computer functions perfectly (including policy after login). Are there are
group policy updates available that may solve this problem? Please let me
know if I've left out any important information. I appreciate any help
provided as I've been at this for the past couple months!
Thanks,
Patrick

Group policy template for Novell Client for Windows 7

Does anyone know if there is a group policy template for the Novell Client for Windows 7? I find it really hard to believe that Novell has not yet released one, but I cannot find one anywhere. We use ZCM 11.2, and I really need to be able to send out settings for the client via a group policy.
By the way, I am also posting this on the Novell Client forum, but since this is also a ZCM thing, I am hoping I might get some feedback here.

CSA & Novell Client

We run a Novell network and our primary authentication client is the Novell client. I've setup CSAMC v6 and have been tuning for the past couple of days.
I seem to have a problem with the Novell client login script. Whenever I login, the search drives don't map. I get:
FS-TBRHSC-ZEN
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-890: The specified server is unknown.
LOGIN-LGNWNT32.DLL-430: The following drive mapping operation could not be completed.
[ROOT S16:=Z:=FS-TBRHSC-ZEN\SYS:PUBLIC]
The error code was 8884.
I've opened up TCP/524 and TCP/427 to all of our Novell servers with no results. I thought it might be ephemeral ports to I opened them up as well.
This is really frustrating the heck out of me. Does anyone have a solution?
Ryan

I have tuned Novell in CSA 4.0, and upgarded the rules to 6.0 and they seem stable. Please e-mail me at dhudson at hanover dot com, and I will send you na export of my Novell tuning...

Novell Client dirty uninstall

Due to the temporary misconfiguration of an Enterprise patching solution I accidently got the Novell Client and NICI installed on my notebook. We have nothing Novell on our network.
Unfortunately despite uninstalling everything Novell related I still have "Novell Logon" at login on my machine and smart card login has stopped working.
This notebook is running Windows 7 Enterprise.
How can I clean up the mess which installing this client has caused?

I've never had problems with uninstalling Novell Client, although I
must admit I don't do that very often. But I have come to the
conclusion anymore that it is faster to re-image a PC than it is to
troubleshoot problems on Windows.

10.3 + Novell Client 2 SP1 IR4 + UAC = no refresh

Software/Versions:
Novell Client 2 SP1 IR4
ZCM 10.3.0
Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit
Performing our first win7 tests and ran into a fairly major issue. Besides the very first login, ZCM will not refresh when rebooted, logout/login of windows, F5 in NAL or zac ref bypasscache.
If we manually logout of ZCM then back in, it will refresh properly.
Looking through the debug, didn't see any obvious failures. The client seems to just be using the cache, login is faster then we are used too:).
We have removed cache, unr/reg, reinstalled ZCM, messed with firewall/novell client settings with no effect.
We did find the the Novell client is what causes the issue. Refreshed work fine without the novell client, once it is installed refreshes don't work. Though if I disable UAC + novell client refreshes will start to work again.
Any throughts on what else I could try? UAC is pretty important to us.

Well I have found something odd in the debug log that I didn't notice before...

Does anyone have a custom GPO ADM created for Novell Client 2?
Shaun, I heard you might have created it?

Two recent/new resources are available for the Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows:

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

Login intermittently slow with ZCM agent AND Novell client

We continue to struggle with intermittently slow logins in our environment. In testing, we noticed that logins are very fast (10-20 seconds) when only the Novell Client is installed, and very fast (~10 seconds) when only the ZCM agent is installed. However, when they are both installed, logins slow down, sometimes to 1.5 minutes or longer.
We have checked DNS and rDNS, and they are both configured properly. SLP is working properly as demonstrated by the fast logins when only the client is installed. We use LDAP for user lookup, and it also works very fast to resolve user names (~ 1 second).
We are using ZCM 10.3.1, and the client is fully patched as well (both Novell Client 2 and 4.91)
Are there any specific settings (for the ZCM agent or the client itself) that might address this issue?

My apologies, I told you to remove the wrong thing.
I should have said NMAS instead of CASA.
I am just so used to saying CASA when talking about ZCM.
In regards to NMAS, you could simply rename "NWSSO.DLL" as a test.
If NMAS is installed which is tested by the existence of this DLL, then
a certain NMAS call is always made, which in some cases can take a long
time.

Roaming profiles did not work with Novell client

I've Problems with roaming profiles.
It is perhaps not a Novell problem but anything with windows rights?
We use ZCM11: (Server: SLES11 SP1)
Client new PC with a freshly installed Windows7, all updates.
(Only Turn on file and printer sharing, anything else default, no virusscanner)
The pre-agent has been installed and then the the Novell Client 2SP1 IR7
The PC gets a "Dynamic Local User Policy" with the settings:
- Use the credentials of the user source
- (Manage existing user account - but we have none there)
- Volatile user (with no cache, meaning that the user is immediately deleted ... We have also tested with cache.)
- e-dir user should be only member of Users
The users from edir get a Roaming Profile Policy with:
- Store user profile in user's Home Directory. (which is on the OES/SLES server)
---- results ----
If the user has no centrally stored profile, then he can log on but just once!
(if "Enable Volatile User cache" also several times to the same PC)
If the user already has a stored profile, he can not log on Error: "The Group Policy client service failed the logon Access is denied"
In my view, the following happens. W7 create the user locally and want's put in the settings from a central profile in the local
Profile and can not do that.
Only when no "central profile" is there in the homedir, or if this profile does not contain the file ntuser.dat, the user can log in locally.
However, no files are used from te saved profile, for instance from the saved desktop.
I can not imagine that anyone around the world with ZCM11 on a SLES/OES Server don't use the Novell client and raoming profiles
It must therefore give a simple trick to solve the problem.
But which one? Can some one here help me?
