Re: Event ID 108

Hi,

Can you verify if you have policy in the SYSVOL\policies folder (you should
see a guid folder)? This could also be caused if you tried to deploy a
software package via GPO and did not share the folder where software
resided.

I am having a problem when deploying applications via GPO in a Windows 2000
SP4 AD domain. The clients do not receive the package and I receive Event
ID 108 "There is no software installation data object in the Active
Directory".

I have followed the recommendations from
http://eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=108&eventno=1181&source=Application%20Management&phase=1,
as well as from other MSKB articles, but without success.

I have deleted/recreated the GPO, msi and mst packages, but the problem
persists.



This is a network I inherited and when looking around in AD I noticed that
the "Default Domain Policy" has either been deleted or renamed because it
no longer exists. The only policy bound to the domain is one called "All
Users and Workstations", which I do not recognize as a built-in policy. I
have run dcdiag /fix and netdiag /fix on all DCs and netdiag /fix on the
test-deploy workstations, but this has not solved the problem.



Everything else with the domain including authentication, name resolution,
etc.. works fine, but I think this error may be evidence of a larger
problem with AD.



We are planning on upgrading the domain to WS2k3 within the next few
weeks. Does anyone think that may fix the problem? If not, would it be
wise to put off the upgrade until this issue is resolved?





Thanks in advance for any help,



Dan DeStefano
