SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION REMOVES PACKAGES THAT DO NOT COMPLETE THEIR INSTALLATION PROPERLY ON WINDOWS 95* AND WINDOWS NT* STATIONS
Product: LANDesk(R) Workgroup Manager, Component: Distribution
Symptom:
Software Distribution removes packages that do not complete their
installation properly (ie the installation aborts or stops without a
message) on Windows 95* and Windows NT* Stations.
When executing a remove package on a Windows 95 or NT client, everything
seems to be removed from the client except for the group that was
created for the application. This results in a Non-critical Error from
Software Distribution.
Description:
The cleanup procedure is not properly removing the package group for the
created application for the package.
Solution:
Simple work around is to delete the group manually.
PACKAGES ARE PUBLIC UNTIL A USER IS ASSIGNED
Product: LANDesk(R) Workgroup Manager, Component: Distribution
Symptom:
When packages are created, and no users are assigned to get the package,
the package is available to all the users in the LANDesk(R) Workgroup
Manager Group. But, as soon as we attach any user to the package, this
package is no longer available to the reset users. Why?
Description:
This is as designed. If a user is assigned to a package, that package
is assumed to no longer be public.
Note: Only users that have been scanned into the inventory database can
be sent the package, otherwise a warning message occurs.
