Yes actually I was. I have done other tests using different machines, but that particular test I used the same machine for. I will try it using a different machine. I did force the GPO to uninstall the assigned application from the previous GPO (eventhough it hadn't actually been installed, but shown in the event log), but it is still worth a try I suppose.

I've been trying to distribute an .MSI package via GPO as an Assigned application to an OU in AD. Test environment: Worked perfectly fine in my test environment, I copied the install package to a share on the server, set permissions, assigned the application to a GPO and that was it. Worked perfectly ever since. Production environment: Exact replica of permissions, shared folder names, the file is the same, the usernames/security groups are different and the name/properties of the GPO used to deploy the application are different. Will not work for the life of me. Thinking that it might be a problem with the GPO I created a test OU and blocked inheritance (without linking any other GPO's), test user account, test GPO and assigned the application in the new GPO, redeployed the application. Still no go. The deployment works fine if the application is published, but my boss wants 0 user interaction (I.E. install at logon). The weirdest thing is that the event viewer shows that the application is installed successfully, but it isnt actually installed anywhere (no registry keys, or program files etc.). Which makes no sense because it works perfectly in the test environment. This should be something that is very simple but it has been the biggest pain in the NECK!!! (for lack of a better term) Anyone with any idea's, I'm ALL ears :-) List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
