I have had no success with this, TIA for your assist. Log
file errors consistently are: 102, 303, 108 and 1000. The
MS article Q278472 exactly describes the issue. I have
given full security *and* share rights to the test
machines, Domain Computers, Everyone (sick as that is) and
Authenticated Users. This should cover the issue in the
article "The machine account for the workstation does not
have permissions to the share or file system that holds
the source files for the package. When a workstation runs
Group Policy, it does so in the context of the machine
system account for the workstation." However, I cannot get
around the errors. Have changed shares, machines,
extracted multiple times, to no avail. Suggestions,
workarounds?
Thanks
Bill

Bill,

I have not looked at the MS KB Article that you mention so
I hope that I am not repeating anything here.

Look at DNS. Are the clients pointing to your internal
DNS Server(s)? If they are not everything will be a bit
wacked out: sometimes it will work and most of the time it
will not work.

Look at the extracted folder. What exactly is inside the
I386 folder? How did you extract it?

Look at the Policy. When you supplied the path to
update.msi did you use the UNC method (
\\servername\sharename\i386\update\update.msi ) or did you
use a mapped network drive? This is the one that gets
most people.

Have you had a chance to run GPOTOOLS or GPRESULT on the
machine(s) in question?

Install the Support Tools on all your servers, run DCDIAG
on your DCs and run NETDIAG on all your servers. Take a
look at several of the switches for both utilities. BTW -
it is best to install the Support Tools from the SP CD,
not from your WIN2000 Server CD.

HTH,

Cary
