Couple of things. First, if this is a computer-assigned app, and these are
XP machines, it may take a couple of reboots to pick up the install, because
of the Fast Logon Optimization feature which is on in XP by default. Have
you checked the application event log for events of the type "Application
Management" on some of those clients? Troubleshooting GPSI problems is a
progressive thing. First, make sure that the machines are receiving the
relevant policy by running GPMC's GP Results wizard. Next, if that shows
that the GPO is being processed, see what the Component Status says in the
report about Software Installation. Next, you can use my gpoglog.adm
(www.gpoguy.com/tools.htm) to enable GPSI logging and see what that says.
That should give you all the info you need. If there is a problem with the
MSI package, then you can enable MSI logging at Computer
Configuration\Admin Templates\Windows Components\Windows Installer\Logging

Subject: [gptalk] .msi file installs
Hi
I am in the process of deploying an .msi install across my domain using
group policy..
Problem is, approx 300 clients have been captured and installed, but the
remaining 400+ cant detect / install the .msi file on startup despite being
able to still receive GP updates every 90 minutes.
Any ideas would be great
Cheers guys
Ray
