But I think these event log errors are there coz I tried to see the group
policy results.

P.S Even Group Policy results dont show up.
It shows""You dont have permissions to ... ACCESS IS DENIED"

Dont know what is going on.

Hello,
Here is my test environment.

I am trying to push Acrobat Reader with group policy.
Got 1 Windows 2003 SBS and 1 client computer.

SBS box has active directory installed. GPMC installed.
In active directory I have created an OU called "Desktops" and moved
the client computer to this OU.
For creating a GPO, I right click on the OU, Right Click it> Go to
Properties > Group Policy >
There I create a GPO called Acrobat. Under Group Policy Object Editor
Computer Configuration > Software Settings> Software installation I
create a package.

Name Version Deployment
State Source
Acrobat Reader 8.1.0 8.1 Assigned
\\testserver\Acrobat\Acrobat.msi

The above are the settings of the package.

On the client computer I do a gpupdate /force
Restart the client.

The client still doesnt installs the software?
Could anyone please point where I am going wrong?

I am learning Windows server.
Your help will be really appreciated.

Configuring the gpo for the computer, it runs under the workstion "system"
account which has no network priviledges, (but admin on the workstaion). You
need to give "everyone" read access to the \\testserver\acrobat share and
all files (acrobat.msi) that are required to install the package.

Otherwise it looks like a good setup to me (a check of the event log should
provide confirmation about necessary priviledges).
