Re: SP2 not isntalled VIA GPO but shows SP1

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Richard:

Installing via a GPO on the Computers sitting in a OU using the UNC path to
the shared folder.

2 PC's showed for 45 minutes and they never installed SP2 though they show
it in the ADD/Remove but this other one show it installing for 10 seconds at
the startup and then vanishes.

Any thoughts
