Ok Anyone have any experience using win2k server to push out an app to users?
Well here is my problem. I'm trying to push out an application. I created a .MSI file using the included Veritas WinINSTALL LE on the Server CD. I shared out the directory where I have the files. I created a new organization unit, in which I placed the users I want to have the software. I create a new group policy that I applied to the new OU. In the group policy I create a new software package under user configuration/software seetings/software installation. I assign the package.
Well with that I still can't get the app to be installed automatically. I tried publish instead of assigning. It doesn't show up on the add or remove programs on the client either. I know group policy is working because I assigned remove favorites from start menu and when those users from that organization unit log on they dont have favorites on there start menu.
The shared folder in which the app is stored has the correct permissions.
Also I verified the MSI file I created work, by mapping the share in which it's stored in, and double clicking on the MSI starts the windows explorer and the application is installed.
Anyone have any ideas what I might of left out?
