I'm running W2K Server, with W2K clients.

Under Computer Configuration\Software Settings, in the group policy for a
computer object, I have a couple of software installations set up.

These installed fine on the PC's that have fixed IP Addresses which are set
manually, however, on the PC's that use DHCP they don't install. It almost
seems like the network connection isn't being made before the PC would
normally try to install any required software.

Has anyone come across this or now of a solution?

I can't believe that you can't set up software installations in this way
when using DHCP

Thanks

Phil
