GPO Software installation fails

I have set up a GPO to install some software packages on domain machines. THe
GPO is assigned to computers in the OU and the share resides on a server in a
different OU, but in the same site (they are also on the same subnet). My
problem is this: When I update the policy on the target computer, it applies
the policy, but when I reboot and the GPO tries to install the software the
server does not allow the computer account access to the share. I have set
up permissions on the share and in NTFS so that Authenticated users have RX
in NTFS and Everyone has Full Control on the share. I'm getting a sucess
audit for the computer logon to the server, but access to the share is being
denied. I have also tried adding Domain Computers to the share and NTFS
permissions. I have even gone as far as allowing Everyone Full Control of the
share AND NTFS (for testing purposes ONLY), but I am still unable to install
the software via GPO.

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
 
I found the problem. IT was a local policy on the server that had to be set
to allow ananymous access to the share hosting the applications. GPO
application installs are working flawlessly now.
