Hi All,
Ok, I am running Server 2003 with XP Pro workstations. I already am using a GPO for disabling various functions and it works. I am now trying to enable a GPO to install Adobe Shockwave when a user signs on. It seems the Policy has been activated, to my knowledge, I have the correct UNC to were the MSI installer package is. It is assigned in Server 2003, however it will not enable. So basically I have 2 seperate GPO's. I have tried incorporating the Shockwave into my existing GPO, and still no luck. Any idea's? Could this be a security issue of some sort?
Thank You

Make sure that the users can do a start/run to the location. That would rule out a security issue.

Hi,
Yes, the users can do start/run and get to the server and folder were the MSI file resides.

I also tried creating the policy under the Domain name VS selecting the OU under local.
This did not work either. Is there something that I am missing regarding pushing out an MSI package? I googled all this, and I seem to have it all correct including the correct Permissions ETC.
Thank You
