We are having a pretty annoying issue for the last few days (ever since friday last week).

Thursday last week we Updated our ZENworks Servers to 24.4...
And suspiciously on Friday we noticed that the automationhooks for ZENworks don't work on freshly installed machines anymore!
We use those for imaging (so we can use "zac zen-login"/"zen login"  in scripts)

But we were still installing the 24.2 agent at this point which was working for months with these hooks previously?
I double and triple-checked the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\bin\modules\DelayLoad"-Folder and the .dll for the automationhooks are in there...

So i also checked the zmd-messages log and found the following:

[TRACE] [12/02/2024 12:48:44.682] [3856] [ZenworksWindowsService] [18] [] [ModuleLoader] [] [Assembly.LoadFrom(C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\bin\modules\DelayLoad\AutomationHooks.dll) threw exception during module loading

.Net threw a part of the error in german sadly...
But essentially it is talking about a dependency missing...

But on my machine for example i even already updated ZENworks to 24.4 and both machines the .net version is the same...

So why are the AutomationHooks not working now?
Are there newer ones? (i still only got Hooks version 20.2 - i guess they never changed anything there?)
