Re: GPO Redeploy

Thanks Darren, I applied the ADM to a system and look through the logs, the
only thing that stands out is:

Application PBApps from policy DEP_NY: PBApps6.60 was reset to reinstall
because an unmanaged application with the same product identifier was
already present on the machine.

Only problem is this makes very little sense to a few of us, unmanaged in
what way?

The GPO in question wasn't changed, it was disabled, but left linked to the
OU in question, after the DR test (actually a power outage of the entire
building) it was re-enabled. The GPOs where not edit in anyway to change
them.

Thanks again

GP Software Installation will normally only reinstall if the package was
removed or something was missing in the install (i.e. a key file was
deleted). You could turn on software installation logging (see my
gpolog.adm file at www.gpoguy.com/gpolog.htm) and see why it think it
needs to reinstall.

For DR reasons we had disabled all our deployments via GPOs for a week.
When they where relinked users started to reinstall software they had
already installed. Has anyone seen this or have any ideas what I should
look into to stop this.

Thanks
