Hi Omar, Thanks for your help, Yes I agree Synchronous processing can have this effect, and as you rightly say - a few reboots should resolve the issue. But in the i case the event logs don't refer to Synchronous processing, as I have seen with other machines in the past, never the less I have tried to reboot the machine more than 20 times over the last week while testing and have no luck. "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" is also already set in policy. Do you have any other suggestions? -------------------------------------------------- Minesh Pandya "Omar Droubi" <omar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 01/11/2007 06:21 Please respond to gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To <gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc Subject [gptalk] Re: Policy Failing I don?t know about you guys but most of my troubles with deploying Software with GPOs were solved with the Wait for network? GPO configuration Not sure if this may solve the issue cause the error does not give enough info---but?your error of ?was : The installation source for this product is not available? Could be interpreted to mean that the machines tried to process the policy and install the package but the network had not yet initiated. Read this: Configuring Synchronous Processing Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server computers process foreground policy synchronously by default. Windows XP processes foreground policy asynchronously by default. In order to enable synchronous processing (at startup/logon) on Windows XP, you must ensure that the following policy is enabled (and disabled/not configured on Windows 2000/2003): Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\ "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" This setting ensures that policy completes before the startup/logon is completed. The change to the default setting on Windows XP was designed to speed up startup and logon processing. However, when performing configurations that must take effect before the end-user has access to his/her desktop, synchronous processing must be enabled. From this link: http://grouppolicy.editme.com/ClientSideProcessing There are some drawbacks to configuring this policy setting as it may slow down the logon process for many of your users- and direct end user impact is usually a big no no Try this setting- reboot a few times and see if it makes the difference.

Are you sure you entered the UNC path rather than the literal (e.g. d:\packages\mypackage.msi) path?

If per-computer, try ensuring that the Domain Computers group has read access to the share and NTFS folders. Sometimes Everyone is not sufficient, even though it should be.

I am getting errors when I apply policy to a test machine the app isnt installed. These are the results of the RSoP scan: Wednesday, October 31, 2007 03:45:15 The install of application Activexcontrol from policy Components Install failed. The error was : The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it. The install of application Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX from policy Components Install failed. The error was : The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it. I have given "everyone" full access to the app folder, therefore it cant be any permission's? I have also given "everyone" full access to the share and its permission's, and it still fails. The app works fine in all the other sites - and I created the MSI so I know its not to blame.... Can anyone help? -------------------------------------------------- Minesh Pandya Barlow Lyde & Gilbert LLP Email: MPandya@xxxxxxxxx DDI: +44 (0) 20 7643 7629 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7071 9007 ************************************************************************ Barlow Lyde & Gilbert LLP Beaufort House, 15 St. Botolph Street, London EC3A 7NJ.
