- office XP deployment with software installation policy
- Posted by Jon Viehe on October 20th, 2003
I am attempting to deploy Office XP on WIndows XP machines on a 2000 domain.
I have created an administrative share and given read access to "domain
computers" I have then created a OU, with a test machine account in it, and
made a computer group policy to deploy the software package on the share.
The policy has read and apply group policy access to "domain computers".
The problem I am having is that it continues to say "source not available"
in the event viewer, however when logged in, I can browse to the location.
The policy does reference the UNC path, not the mapped drive. ANy ideas?

When the install happens, the computer account is used to read the
installation files, so you need to ensure you have both the share-level and
NTFS permissions setup correctly. Either the Authorized Users or Domain
Computers (Everyone will work too, I don't like using this group).

You may also want to check and make sure you have the
latest version of the windows installer.

Brendeon is right. You need to make sure "Authenticated Users" (this group
includes Domain computers and Domain users) is set with Share level
permissions and NTFS permission on the files/folders themselves.

I mentioned in the original post that I had share permissions set ot domain
computers group having read rights, but i didnt mention that the NTFS
permissions were also domain computers having read/list access. Still no go.
What next?
