Group Policy stops software install

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




We have a group of 2003 windows servers that are in a specific OU with their
own group policy. For some reason I cannot install software ( some software
will install / some won't) I get a message saying I need to be an
Administrator. Even logged in as Domain OR local administrator this problem
is there. All other servers in other OUs work fine. I can install software on
them. This points to the group policy applied to the servers in the specific
OU. But i don't know what setting to look for ?.
I removed one of the servers to an OU where the servers are OK and it still
doen't work. I've got quite a lot of experience of applying Group Policy but
can't solve this. I'm guessing it may be as a result of a restriction that
used to exist in group policy - has now been removed - but still the
restriction stays on the server.

Any help much appreciated.
