I have a GPO for software deployment (4 softwares). The deployment is OK on clients. However I got troubles with some clients (XP). The software deployment is launch every time on startup (before login).

I checked Application log on client. I have ID 305 Source Application Management (The reinstall of application ... succeeded).

Unfortunately I have no clue/idea on the problem. I don't think that leave/rejoin the domain will solved the problem ...

Is there anything special on those machines that re-install the software all over? I've seen this with machine that had virus scanners installed that would remove portions of the files so that a repair-re-install would kick off.

Is anything logged in the appmgmt.log file at %windir%\debug\usermode\appmgmt.log? You maybe need to set the machine to verbose mode to see useful content in the log. Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics to Appmgmtdebuglevel=dword:0000009b
