RE: [ActiveDir] .msp & GPOs

[Brian Desmond]

Right. My understanding of how the patch mechanism works in Windows Installer is that if it get the redeploy and it detects that it was patched, it should only execute the code to install the patch, not the whole app over again on the target machine.   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 2:46 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] .msp & GPOs   Brian- I haven't seen it work that way for GP-deployed apps. You need to proactively do a "re-deploy" on the package to trigger that.   Darren     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 11:24 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] .msp & GPOs If you patch it, Windows Installer on the target should detect the patch and only run the patch code.   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Vander Kooi Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 1:48 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] .msp & GPOs   Sorry, but redeploying the app is reinstalling.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 5:06 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] .msp & GPOs Why would he do that? The MSI is on the share for the GPO either directly or as the result of an administrative install. The correct procedure is to apply the patch to the distribution point with msiexec and I believe the /p switch and then Use the redeploy option by right clicking the app in the gpo it was deployed via.   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Vander Kooi Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 3:16 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] .msp & GPOs   Reinstall the msi using the new msp.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 11:56 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] .msp & GPOs How can I deploy a Symantec patch file (SAV_Corporate_Edition_10.0.1.1007_AllWin_EN.msp) that was originally deployed via GPO through an .msi file?   Devon Harding Windows Systems Engineer Southern Wine & Spirits - BSG 954-602-2469   __________________________________ This message and any attachments are solely for the intended recipient and may contain confidential or privileged information.
