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.

On a client in question, check rsop.msc and gpresult.exe to check what policies are applied. Then check the policies - that should give you an idea whether there are software restrictions in place.

Personally I doubt a GP restriction, though. What is the error message you get, specifically?
