Software Install not working

[OregonSteve]

Greetings-

Windows 3000 Server, XPproSP1 workstations. Single domain.

Attempting to change the provider order for the network connection with an
MSI. Create the MSI, added it as a new software package under the User
Configuration of a GPO, set it to be assigned, linked it to the desired OU.

Here is the contents of the reg file that I created the MSI out of:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\HwOrder
]
"ProviderOrder"="LanmanWorkstation,NetwareWorkstation,RDPNP,WebClient"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order]
"ProviderOrder"="LanmanWorkstation,NetwareWorkstation,RDPNP,WebClient"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\ShortNa
me]


Upon rebooting, the "startup" window shows settings being applied, and shows
installation of the software package. But it doesn't change the setting.

I put the MSI in the logon scripts folder on the DC. If I browse to it and
2x click, it runs no problem.

Please Help )

Steve,

This would be something that MSIs aren't really appropriate for. Grab the
reg.exe tool out of the resource kit, and write a simple batch file which
makes those three changes. Startup scripts run with elevated permissions,
and are an appropriate environment to do this in.
