Ok. I have done this as your suggestion. I have removed the old policy and kept the container. Then added a new policy for install based on new client and did gpupdate /force . After rebooting the test box, I saw the message that says applying software installation and then I logged in. now the problem is if I click the help on client, it wouldn't show me the help file so I can't see the version ________________________________________ From: Ball, Dan [mailto:DBall@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 8:37 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition SP1 http://www.ISAserver.org One other thing, I forgot to ask, did you try the "redeploy application" option yet? That'd be the first thing I'd try. It'll force a re-install of the managed software. There is another way to force re-install via the registry, but that's a pain to explain. ________________________________________ From: Ball, Dan [mailto:DBall@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 23:32 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition SP1 http://www.ISAserver.org Yep, you're my Guinea pig... The key thing to remember with GPOs is that in order to force an uninstall, you have to make sure that policy is set to "Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management", and then remove it from use. If you actually delete the policy, it might not be able to uninstall because it can't find the GPO to reference. You also cannot move the install files from the original location, or it won't be able to do an uninstall either. Since it is simply an upgrade of the FWC, the uninstall routines should work for the older version also. If you create a "new" GPO, even if it is identical, and assign it to that computer, it will treat it as a completely new GPO (new SID), and re-install it. Windows does the Uninstalls of GPOs before it does the Installs, so you should be safe. As for version identification, I have no idea, and I won't know until I install SP1 so I can see the new version. If you open up the FWC, and click Help, it will give you a version number, which I would think will change once you upgrade. You could test it using the batch upgrade and see what the numbers change to. ________________________________________ From: Ara [mailto:ara@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 22:30 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: RE: [isalist] ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition SP1 LOL, so you consider me a test Beside joke, this is inserting information but I have only 40 systems so much less troubles than you do. Maybe as you said if I remove the old policy and make a new one based on this, then they all get the new version. By the way, how can I check the client version to see if the upgrade was successful? ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: dball@xxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: ara@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
