Hi Ben,
I have done the same. But it is not installing the machines. You can see the
application log. When user logs on the application logs occurs.

Hi Parveen,.
You need to download the full installs for flash (not just the usual single
user install), when you have it, extract the MSI file, which can be done in
2 ways, some .exe installs will open in winzip, and you can extract the
contents to a folder, other don't and you have to run the install, but at
the first screen, look in your temp folder (usually c:\documents &
settings\username\local settings\temp) which is where the files will have
been automatically extracted to. Copy this files (msi & any other files with
it) to a network share that everyone has read access to. Now open group
policy, and go to Computer Config > Software Deployment. Create a new
package, and browse to your network share, remember, and this is important,
use the full UNC path, not network drive, as the package is installed before
the user logs on, and before drives are mapped. So open
\\servername\installs\package.msi select the package, and click ok. You'll
get the option of assign, or advanced. You can just hit assign, and it'll
install with all the defaults, but I usually go in to advanced, and just
check everything is OK. You can add .MST (transforms) and set security in
here. Click Ok, and your ready to go. You will either have to reboot
machines twice, or run GPUPDATE before rebooting the machines, and the group
policy needs to be updated, so the machine picks up the changes, and then
applies them.

I am succesfully deploying Macromedia Flash to our network via Group
Policy. I've tested this on a few machines and everything is working
fine. Good, good!
Of course, there will be machines that won't finish properly; that is
simply how things go. Is there a way for me to remotely confirm that
all the clients have completed their installations? I'd rather not go
to each computer and look at "Add/Remove" Programs. Are the successes
logged somewhere on the Domain Controlers? (I know, I know, WAY too
much to ask for from this feature)
You could get a free little program from sysinternals called psinfo,
which
audits all the software on a machine, you could add it to a start up
script,
and get it to output to a txt file or database, then check the file.
