Thank you. I have seen those 2 articles, but am hesitant to execute the procedures in them as they seem pretty drastic and last-resort. Plus, everything else domain-related, including other GPOs, work fine.
Have you ever tried those procedures? If so, what was the result?

Thanks,
Dan

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
