yes, I have found that you do need to delete this history key to make it
"always" work.

Cool. Do you even need to delete the history keys? A gpupdate
/force after deleting the appmgmt key should trigger the appropriate
flags for the next reboot.

I do this all the time. Deleting the entire history key will
force all to process, but will not negatively affect other settings or
applications as long as only the guid for the application in question is
deleted in AppMgmt

Might not want to delete the whole history key, since
that will probably cause all GPOs to re-process, but I like the idea of
trying to just delete the relevant Appmgmt key. That would be
interesting to test.

Matt,
You could also delete the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Group
Policy\AppMgmt\{ApplicationSpecificGUID} and the History key (entirely).
This will re-install the application, but there is no good way to do it
from a GPO itself.

Matt-
That's somewhat difficult. There's no easy way
to target a Re-deploy action on machines that have received GP-based
installations. And re-deploy actually only does a repair operation, not
a full re-install. So, the easiest way to do this might be to do a
startup script that uses an msiexec command to perform the reinstall on
the particular computers in question. Msiexec command line options are
described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314881/en-us

Subject: [gptalk] redeploy assigned software

Hello,
I have a GPO that deploys a few assigned
applications through the software installation feature.
These software packages are assigned to the
computer
I would like to force a re-install but only on a
select few computers.
How can I do this?
Thank you for any help you can give me,
Matt
