RE: Deploying Application



Hi,
I have been looking to accomplish the same task however I am unable too. I
had been trying to use the add applications wizard but that didnt' work, so I
tried your method, which also didnt' work. The computer boots up fine and
logs in but doesnt' install the application. I'm not too good with group
policy yet as I'm still learning but i did get the group policy to
successfully allow all the computers to get updates from my WSUS server
(running the the SBS 03 server I am also trying to deploy apps from). Is
there something stupid I could be doing in my group policy that would prevent
this from allowing deployment?

Thanks!

- Andrew
