I've created a software deployment package for Windows Service Pack 2, assigned it to a category, and made sure the deployment folder is available to the network....When I logon to a computer that I have assigned the package to, it doesn't apply, nor does it show up in Add/Remove Programs.

Any ideas on what I've overlooked?

Thanks.

\\servername\share,when you assign the package.

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, I did provide the UNC path: you can't create the package without specifying the unc path.

Thank you for your time.

You have to use GPO to deploy it. You would have to first extract the sp2 file. Then assign the update.msi file onto your group policy. Make sure you apply it to computer level and not user level. That way, whenever an un-updated workstation boots, it will be updated even before logon appear.

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, I have already done the suggestions you have made.

I have created a GPO policy which applies the software package at the computer level, but the computers do not update. I have seen the notification on the workstations as they start up that the package is attempting to install, but the installationnever completes. I'm thinking there is some sort of corruption in the files.
