RE: [ActiveDir] Software Deployment to Computers using GPO

[Darren Mar-Elia]

Russ- How are you trying to trigger the install? If its a machine-based assignment, the install will only happen on machine reboot, rather than by using secedit or gpupdate. The message displayed below is simply saying that software installation can't happen in the background (i.e. asynchronously) but instead must happen during synchronous GPO processing, which means on machine reboot for computer policy or user logon for user policy.   Darren From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 5:56 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Software Deployment to Computers using GPO Ok, I figured out the permission problems.  Apparently you can't publish software  for a software install GPO on a clustered server.   Now I'm getting a new error: (cam-tst-computers is the GPO name). The assignment of application PatchLink Update Agent for Windows from policy CAM-TST-Computers Local Security Policy failed. The error was : The group policy framework should call the extension in the synchronous foreground policy refresh. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 6:37 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Software Deployment to Computers using GPO I've created a Computer Configuration GPO software installation package, and pointed it to a share I created and put the MSI file in.  I pointed the package to the .MSI.  When the computer in the affected OU tries to launch the package, it can't get to the share.  I set the share permissions to default (Everyone:Full Control) and set the NTFS permissions to Domain Users, Authenticated Users, Everyone to Read/Create/Modify/Execute.  It still wont work.   To troubleshoot on the desktop, I did an " at 6:30 /interactive cmd.exe " and when the cmd prompt opened, I tried to do a net use to the share, and it prompted me for a password.  Since this doesn't work, I assume this is why the software install GPO is failing.  The error I'm getting is The install of application PatchLink Update Agent for Windows from policy CAM-TST-Computers Local Security Policy failed. The error was : The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.  Any ideas what rights I need to fix this?  I'm working within a single domain (no trusts involved).   Thanks  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is confidential, may contain proprietary information of the Cooper Cameron Corporation and its operating Divisions and may be confidential or privileged.
