Software Deployment

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi all,

I'm having some problems with software deployment. I've noticed that the
group policy is readable, and that it does mention it should be installing it
- but then never appears (see the event logs below).

The computers have read access to the policy, which works, and has read
access to the MSI, and the directory (Both done through the group "Domain
Computers"). Could anyone please advise on what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

David
