I tried your suggestion but that did not fix the problem.

  You must have outdatet administrative templates in that GPO. Open the GPO from WinXP or Windows Server 2003 for editing - this will automatically update the .adm files stored in GPO, and you will see these settings.

    I can check that setting for a single machine but when I tried to set that at OU level, I could not find the setting. ANy thing wrong?

      Configure the setting I mentioned in the previous post to be Enabled. The system will always wait for network connections at startup (this is the same behavior as in Windows 2000).

        If this is expected, then it should happen in all OU's, right?
        Also, how to fix this.

          This is the expected behavior on computers when Fast Logon Optimization ("Always wait for network at computer startup " in GP) is turned on.

            We are using Group policies for software deployment. We assign the msi
            packages to machines so that the applications get installed on next reboot.

            We have six OU's in our domain (Win2k domain with XP clients). In one of the
            OU, we are seeing a weird problem when packages are assigned from the group
            policies. The msi package does not get installed on first attempt. But
            rebooting the machine multiple times (two or more times) install the
            package. Surprisingly there is no problem in uninstallaing the packages.
            They get removed on the first reboot of the user machine.

            We are seeing the following errors on the user machines.

            Event Type: Information
            Event Source: Application Management
            Event ID: 301
            User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
            Computer: ITG23
            Description:

            The error was : The installation source for this product is not available.

            Description:
            Failed to apply changes to software installation settings. Software changes

            error was : The installation source for this product is not available.
            Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.

            Event Type: Error
            Event Source: Userenv
            Event ID: 1085
            User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
            Computer: ITG23
            Description:
            The Group Policy client-side extension Software Installation failed to
            execute. Please look for any errors reported earlier by that extension.

            Note that the same package gets installed after rebooting the machine
            multiple times. The no.of reboots vary from two to five or six. This problem
            is not present in other OU's. The package is hosted on a DFS path which is
            accessible to all (everyone and NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM have FULL permissions on
            package hosting share).

            I have checked the following KB articles.
            http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q274274

            http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q278472

            http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q815438

            All of them talk about the user machine not having permissions etc, which
            does not sem to be the isue in our case as rebooting the machine multiple
            times installs the package.

            Any help will be highly appreciated.

            --Regards
            Kbalert
