Thank you very much for your responses.
When you say to delete the History Key do you mean
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\History ?
I just want to verify before I get delete happy
Thanks

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

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
