Hello everyone,

I have a problem I can't seem to solve on my Win2k AD domain. I have a
GPO setup to install "App-A". After waiting the requisite time, I reboot
the computers that are in that GPO. CompA installs the MSI package fine.
However, CompB had a problem installing the MSI package. Since the GPO
applies itself to "Authenticated Users" by default, how can I get around
that to re-install the package on CompB and not affect CompA.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

So I guess there are two ways:
1) re-deploy the application, which will effectively re-install it for
everyone in that OU.

2) Remove the application and then re-add it to the GPO.

Is there any other way to deal with this situation without affecting the
other computers?
