Feb 01, 2016 This white paper helps you troubleshoot the most common problems affecting the deployment of Group Policy in a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2000 environment. This white paper discusses the likely sources for problems with Group Policy application and administration, and suggests ways to identify the source of problems you might encounter. Deploying.msi application through GPO doesn't work. Ask Question Asked 7 years, 8 months ago. Use the Group Policy Management Console to run a report on a target machine, and view this report to check that the GPO that assigns the software installation is applying correctly. If this part isn't working right then there's no point in going.

Hi there,
- For example, you may see Applying Group Policy Software Installation if your machines are installing a GP deployed MSI. This setting was previously known as Group Policy Verbose mode. To make future troubleshooting easier, I prefer to enable this setting on clients and servers.
- How to deploy software from an installation share with a group policy on Windows Server Essentials By Mariette Knap deploy software, antivirus, group policy, gpo When you have more than a couple of clients in your network you no longer want to run around with USB sticks and install software.
i have a problem getting a GPO install to work. I created a MSI thats hosted in a network share:
serverDeploymentxxxxxx.msi
when i log on to a computer and start it manually, it installs perfectly in silence and is listed uninstallable via systemcontrol/software.
However, if i deploy it by GPO, it wont work. eventvwr.msc reveals error codes 101, 103, 108 and 1085 without any useful further information (roughly translated in english it is something like: 'it did not work because it did not work.' :@). Client is set to wait on network, GPO is listed as applied on gpresult, when i log onto the server and check the ntfs-settings, the MSI has read and execute fordomain-computers, auth-users, everyone, anonymous and full for system and admins. The share settings are read for everyone. There are no further events related to that failure.
Does someone please can suggest some fixes? How can i find out WHY it does not get installed?
TIA, rhavin.

These errors tell me that your GPO and software distribution are working fine. It's the installer itself that's failing for some reason, and (probably) not reporting 'why' back to the launching process. To that end, they're telling you to check the log file of the installer to determine why, presuming the installer provides a log.
When run by the GP at start up, the context is the 'System' context, not a user context. One of the major things that doesn't happen during the System-level install, is that no user profile is loaded. If the installer depends on the user profile to be available for some reason, then it could fail when it's not.
So you have to determine if/why the installer is failing when run in the context used during the GP initiated install.

Optionally, you could change the GP setup you are using; instead of assigning the software package to the Computer, assign (or publish) the software to the User.
I'd explain how to do that here, but there are a few important options and it's better if you get familiar with them all, and then decide which are best for your AD setup.
