Hello, I keep looking for the solution to this particular problem, but have found no success with Microsoft's knowledgebase or any other site I've looked at. According to all the sources I've read I'm doing it correctly, but here goes;
Windows 2000 server SP3, Computer GPO software distribution (doesn't matter what type of MSI file), Windows XP client workstations SP1: software assigned via Computer GPO's does not install. The computer basically behaves as if it's not receiving any information about waiting software install files. Software assigned or published to Users works as expected. The packages are set up with correct permissions to the share for both computers and users, assigned with UNC path names and not local paths, and appropriate accounts are set up to access the GPO in permissions for that GPO. In fact, this is set up with a brand-new OU called BETATEST, where the users or computers get moved into for testing purposes, so "Authenticated Users" really ought to do the trick, but even specifically assigned computer names do not work. As mentioned earlier, assigned or published User GPO software installs work just fine. Does anyone have a clue about this? I'm absolutely stumped, and cannot find anything specifically weird such as GPO's have been set to block inheritance or computer GPO settings having been turned off. Everything seems clean there. Basically, I would welcome any suggestions as to where to look for problems beyond this point. I really don't want to do all my software assignment through the Users - some stuff really needs to be set up to install at the Computer level. Thanks in advance for any assistance, Matt Hoffman ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=nt2000&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
