Deploying software via GPO not working
I have this problem with ANY software I try installing to my users.
I know how to create packages, I looked at all the guides, and I'm doing it down to the detail.
For some reason, User install packages work great, granted only if they have install rights and are a administrator...which is only IT.
So I made computer install packages and it doesn't work. Particularly right now I'm working on distributing a Java MSI file. I'm using the network path, I have authenticated users full rights to it and the path. Yet it doesn't work. The event log states error %%1612.
Any help? We're using SBS 2011.
Here are the logs from my eventvwr.
Error:
Failed to apply changes to software installation settings. Software changes could not be applied. A previous log entry with details should exist. The error was : %%1612
Error (#Java is the name of the GPO in the error)
The install of application Java 7 Update 7 from policy #Java failed. The error was : %%1612

Sounds good. for a computer based policy yes you need the "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon", and the share / ntfs permissions as discussed earlier for starters.
Sorry I was elsewhere after commenting earlier so couldn't respond.
