Hello:

Just recently, I had setup another OU for computers, and I enabled
loopback processing for machines. The machines are part of a SBS 2003
domain. All machine properly process the OU on the machine, but only
install an application that I assigned (anti-virus), but they don't
install other application, i.e., Outlook 2003 and Fax Transport
Protocol.

I don't see any suspect in the event logs, but the applications don't
install anymore. Is there something different for machines when
assigning applications?

Thanks,

--TJ
 
You might also want to post in the Group Policy newsgroup but I would think
it should work. Make sure that the computer has permissions to the
distribution share and .msi file by either creating a global group with the
computer accounts in it or using authenticated users which also contains
domain computers. Software assigned to computers should be installed upon
the next reboot. I would also run rsop.msc on the computers in question to
see if it shows that the software you expects shows as being applied via
Group Policy Software Installation computer configuration. --- Steve
