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 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314881/en-us

Subject: [gptalk] redeploy assigned

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
