Re: Activate installation of a avertised application that is published

Hi Buster,

I think what you want to do here is to make it assigned and check the
Install this application at logon checkbox on the Deployment tab of the
package properties.

This will force the install for any user in that OU that is a member of the
group you have setup to apply the policy.

I am assuming that you are doing this by user and not by computer. If you
are assigning by computer then you only need to make it assigned, there is
no check box that needs checked.

HTH,

Jeff
