Re: Software Deployment

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Mike,
It's not that automatic. There are two different things going on.
A group policy is marked as applied. It is still applied even if someone
manually changes what it did (in this case deploy software).
The msi will self repair, based on key files. This is default Windows
Installer behaviour. If a key file is missing, the component the key file
refers to will re-install. This deals with accidental deletion or changing
of application files.

Using group policy to deploy applications.(Followed
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816102 and used computer assigned
deployment) Deploys OK, but if a user goes to their add/remove programs
and uninstalls the application, it is removed from their computer but does
not get reinstalled on subsequent reboots....? On reboot it has reappeared
in their add/remove programs but it they click remove again it bring the
error: Internal Error 2753. Updater.api_NON_OPT. I thought AD was supposed
to manage deployments and repair deployed applications. Windows 2003 R2
SP2 server with Windows XP SP2 clients.
