Deploy Software via GP
Hi
I am trying to deploy software packages using group policy, I have created a new GPO and added the .msi files under computer configuration
I have linked the GPO to the OU for the client computers
Here is what I get, when the client computer starts the message "installing managed software with the name of the application" briefly appears but no installation takes place any ideas ?

I have checked in all the usual places but no install, the package is deployed as assigned
Have you added it to GPO from a UNC path or drive mapping (that will not work, you will need to re-add it by browsing to the UNC to the path the client computer can get to) and does the computer have access to this share and area, i.e. Everyone or Authenticated Users of Domain Computers group?

I added the programme to a network share and gave everyone access temporarily, then browsed to the .msi file from the GPO
ie d:\folder\software\*.msi
ie d:\folder\software\*.msi

You may want to check under your Add New Programs button to see if there is anything there for the client to select :)
Otherwise, you may have had a silent install in which there is nothing added to the menu or desktop, but the program is there for use. Have you checked the drive or the registry for its existence on the client?
