Hi Dan,
 
I haven't tested the group policy software deployment option yet, but the 
update.bat is quite painless and you can put that log on script in group policy.

I was waiting to see how your update went before I attempted it, and maybe for 
good reason.  Due to our network configuration, a good half of our domain might 
not be able to reach the Internet if the FWC gives out.  

So, that leaves us with "How do we force a re-install of the client?"  If 
you're in a position like I am, I have over 1200 computers that I will need to 
update with the new FWC almost immediately upon upgrade.  Since logging onto 
each of these computers and doing it manually is out of the question, I have to 
figure out a way to automate it as much as possible.

(please bear with me, I'm trying to work this out as I type...)

Let's see, according to the readme file, there is a batch file to do the 
upgrade, or you could run msiexec /feumsv \\ISA\Mspclnt\MS_FWC.msi.  

Since the FWC share was "upgraded", there is no reason to believe that running 
the setup from the mspclnt share wouldn't do a complete install on a fresh 
computer.  Since the MS_FWC.msi file is basically the same thing setup program, 
using group policy to install on a fresh computer should work fine also.

The question then that arises is that if you re-deploy the group policy, does 
it do an upgrade?  The /feumsv switch listed in the readme file basically says 
to re-install, overwrite all files, etc, but running the MS_FWC.msi file (the 
one used in group policy deployment) without those switches, well...

Thus, I would think there are a few options:
-          Re-deploy the group policy, see if that works (I'm assuming you 
already did that)
-          Re-create the group policy software entries to include the /feumsv 
switch, then re-deploy it.  (It probably wouldn't hurt to use this switch all 
the time, to replace old software.)
-          Remove the current group policy from use (don't delete it), and 
create a new replacement group policy.  This will uninstall the software in the 
old one (assuming you selected to force un-installation in old policy), and 
install the new one.  
-          Put the upgrade batch file into a login script, or force it to run 
via group policy. (I'd go with the other methods before this one though, as you 
have to leave it in place long enough to make sure every computer gets upgraded 
(could take a loooong time), and I don't like having useless batch files in a 
login script.)

Does this help?

Let me know how your upgrade goes so I can plan for it also.

Hello Tom,
I haven't contacted the yet. Not a problem for me yet but anything is possible
By the way Tom, do you have any advice how to push everybody a new version of 
client? The group policy didn't work for me.
Thank you
