Hi,
I'm having a similar problem with a few of my 200 or so PCs.
They sit there at the Please Wait screen rather than logging in to Windows. You can force it to allow the login by remote killing the msiexec process.
I'm still not quite sure what it's doing but it's rather annoying.

Deploying Java via GPO issues

Here's a bit of background. I typically run the Java installer and get the msi's from the %appdata% folder.
Installation typically works well, however, in some cases it takes upwards of 1 hour to uninstall the old version and reinstall the new versions being pushed out.
From the research I've done it has to do w/ a missing installer.dll file. I'm assuming that windows is waiting on a timeout to occur before it proceeds which is what is causing the delay.
Does Oracle have a document that talks about how to properly deploy java in an enterprise environment. Is there a specific area that i can download an official MSI for Java rather than having to fish it out of %appdata%?
It's becoming really inconvenient to have users wait 1 hour for java to deploy every time we need to push an update out.
Any advise?
Thanks in advance.

Stop me if you've heard this one before -I'm trying to deploy TightVNC to workstations on the network via GPO and foundthislovely guideon how to achieve such a feat.I've followed it to a tee making sure that all of the folders containing the scripts and install files are located on a network path to which all domain computers have access to read and execute to, and I'm still having problems trying to get the script to run.I have written WMI filters correctly to sort out 32 bit and 64 bit machines.I've tested the script manually on a local workstation and confirmed the code is good.I've made sure the GPO is being applied to the machine.Still no luck :/

Deploy Quicktime.msi via gpo on Vista

I need to build a MSI package for our Vista Business computers. Version is Quicktime v.7.3.0.70. Executing Quicktime.msi manually on Vista installs fine. But deploying via gpo (no MST, assigned to user, [install at login] not checked) I get the message
"A newer version of Quicktime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of Quicktime is installed".
Quicktime was never installed on the computer. It has a clean image.
I have set verbose mode for deployment logging: [HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"Logging"="voicewarmup".
In the log file, a line gets my attention just before the afore error message.
'http://quicktimepro.apple.com/?country=CA&language=fr&productName=QuickTime7&op eratingSystem=Windows
&osVersion=06000000&qtVersion=07308000&cid=AOSA10000026883'
See the version number 'qtVersion=07308000' which is higher than 073070 which is the version I am installing.
Where does Quicktime installer find this info? Am I on the right track to solve this problem? I have put almost three days trying to get this package working.
Any ideas?

Here's the solution that worked for me. It was posted on appdeploy.com earlier today:

I have been distributing quicktime via group policy using tips that have been posted above. However today when I tried using my normal method to distribute quicktime 7.3 via group policy, it stopped working and I was getting this in the application event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10005
Date: 11/6/2007
Time: 9:19:04 AM

Description:
Product: QuickTime -- A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed.
This error started coming up if a previous version of quick time was installed or even if it was none installed and there certainly was not a newer version installed. To fix this problem I used orca and created a transform that removed the row with condition:
"NOT BNEWERPRODUCTISINSTALLED"
from the LaunchCondition table. I'm not sure if this was a good idea or not, but it seems to have fixed the problem for me.

Deploying agents via GPO

Hi All,
I have a SCOM 2012 R2 server. I'd like to automate the deployment of agents to every server in the domain. The agent is MSI and is it supported to deploy agents via Group Policy software installation?

Hi,
Yes we can push the agent out to PC's using standard software deployment through group policy
When using group policy machines will not automatically be approved and you will have to add them manually unless you Auto-approve new manually installed agents.
There are multi ways to deploy agents, please go through the below article for more details:

Embed a URL in a MSI via GPO - Windows 2008 AD

we want to push a software using GPO. Its a small MSI. During the manual install of this software we type in a URL into, Is there a way via AD/GPO we can embed the URL so when the MSI is installed via GPO the URL is also populated - or any free software
that can the job here?
thanks

> AD/GPO we can embed the URL so when the MSI is installed via GPO the URL

You can edit the MSI and thus update the property table with the URL you
need. Orca (from office resource kit) is a free program for that purpose.

Windows 8.1 Update - issues deploying printers via GPO from a 2012R2 Print Server

Hi,
I am trying to deploy a single printer to Windows 8.1 clients in a K-12 environment. We have about 1200 laptops and about 25% of those laptops are installing the printer. Several different users can log on and the printer may or may not be there. The printer
is being deployed to the Computer not the User. If the printer was successfully installed shouldn't the printer be available immediately after logging in with different AD accounts? Sometimes it shows up 10mins later as if it needed to install it again. I
read the changes from v3 to v4 printing in Windows 8, Ive checked the event log errors, printer shares, etc. Deploying Printers to Windows 8.1 clients is poor at best even when it supposed to be easier for IT to manage. Also I was under the impression that
Windows 8.1 clients do not attempt to downloads drivers from a windows print server anymore as they opt to use a v4 print class driver.
Environment Details:
Windows 2012R2 Printer Server all patched, Windows 8.1 all patched, AD users are identical as well as the computers (reside in the same OUs) Printer is deployed to the computers, Point and print restrictions is completely disabled. Restarting the print spooler
on the client has little to no effect. Computers connect wirelessly to the network and print server is in the same building. Started pushing to the user as well to see if it helps. Windows 7 clients are unaffected and get the printer consistently.
Errors:
The print spooler failed to download and import the printer driver from \\Server into the driver store for driver KONICA MINOLTA C652SeriesPS. Error code= 800f0242.
The print spooler failed to import the printer driver that was downloaded from \\Server\print$\x64\PCC\koazca__.inf_amd64_664b51505681ff6d.cab into the driver store for driver KONICA MINOLTA C652SeriesPS. Error code= 800f0242. This can occur if there is
a problem with the driver or the digital signature of the driver.
The default printer was changed to \\Server\Konica_Copier,winspool,Ne05:. See the event user data for context information.

error from event id 600?

Java 8 - deploying MSI through gpo is still a problem?

I know, but we have not PDQ and I'm speaking about a traditional deploying through GPO
thanks

Hi all,is this method still valid right now?http://www.klaus-hartnegg.de/gpo/msi_java8.htmlI say that, because I have no problem in deploying java 8 update 45 into my active directory network through msi/gpo. I have many sites connected in AD, and I can see that java is correctly installed in all my machines, both 32 and 64 bit (all win7 enterprise).In the mst I created, I simply set AUTOUPDATECHECK=0,JAVAUPDATE=0,MODIFYREMOVE=removeThe only pc that ran into issues, was a w7 32bit with java 7 update 71. All the other pc had java 8 update 40.In my opinion, in an environment in that I have no more java

Deploying msi via group policy without administrative rights

We are having a problem with flash player not working without
Administrative right on the machine. We thought we could get around
this by using the flash_player_active_x.msi and installing through
group policy. The install during a computer reboot (if assigning to
a computer) or during a user sign on (if assigned to a user) seems
to work fine.
However, when you actually try to load a webpage with flash,
nothing. The component doesn't actually get installed into the
browser. As soon as you log on with a privilaged account, and
browse to a flash enabled page, the install finishes, the active x
control is loaded and now all users can see it.
However, I'd really prefer not to have to go around to each
computer and log on with the administrator account - kind of
defeats the purpose of group policy.
All computers are Win XP sp2 with IE 7. The active directory
server is a Win2k server.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am having this issue also. Has anyone found a solution?
I found this reference on this website, but there is no
solution given:
I
have installed Adobe Flash Player but still don't see any Flash
content. What is wrong?
quote:
Restricted User accounts are unable to display Flash Player
content
After successful installation under the Windows Administrator
account, Restricted User accounts are unable to display Flash
Player content. This issue has been reported on Microsoft Windows
XP Service Pack 2 systems and occurs sporadically. It may also
affect other versions of Windows, such as Windows 2000.
If you installed Flash Player 8.0.24.0 prior to April 6,
2006, then you must remove it using the Flash Player uninstaller
released on May 11, 2006. Remove Flash Player using the
instructions in How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player (TechNote

Pushing out MSI's via GPO for Windows 8.1

I'm having an issue trying to push Flash Player 13 MSI via GPO to Windows 8.1 machine. It pushes out fine to windows XP pro and windows 7 pro. I know the GPO works, just not for 8.1. I've don't gpupdate /force and still nothing.
Has anyone else had any issues with this? Is there something I'm missing for 8.1 MSI deployment via GPO?

Printers deployed via GPO not deploying

Hi
I have deployed printers via a GPO and mostly all printers have deployed correctly with the exception of a few. The printers that do not deploy to client workstations have different permission than the ones that do deploy correctly. If I add the everyone
group the print permission then the printers do appear, but we do not want everyone to have print permission we just want a few members of staff to be able to print.
Does anyone know if the everyone group has to have print permission for the printers to appear when deployed through a GPO?
Thanks in advance

If you are using Group Policy Preferences to deploy the printer connection, I'd suggest posting the Group Policy forum also.

Deploying flash 8 via GPO

I am trying to get flash installed to my client workstations
via GPO and it is not working. I assigned
install_flash_player_active_x.msi to the computer policy in GPMC
for a test OU and when the the computer reboots I see it attempting
to install Flash 8 for about 3 seconds and then it is done. I then
log in and test to see if it was installed and confirm that it was
not. What am I missing?

I got it to work. It was something on the computer that I was
testing it on. When I tried it on other computers it worked like a
charm. I did check the event viewer and it showed that it was
installed but it really wasn't installing. Hmm.

Deploying Flash Player via GPO - need to have log files generated

I'm looking at deploying the Flash player to 3000 machines across my company via GPO (SCCM is comming in but not for another year). This would be fairly simple if it was just a standard deployment, but I need to ensure that I have close to total coverage, and the only way I can see of doing this is to use th /log switch in the launch parameters. I wish to deploy this via a GPO deployed software and not a script for future upgradability options and as such I'd like to know if anyone knows what parameters I'd need to change on ORCA/similar to make this work?
Thanks in advance

Deploying Flash Player via GPO sometimes results in uninstallation

We started deploying the Flash Player MSI via Group Policy several months ago, but something we've found is that on some computers, instead of getting updated, Flash Player gets uninstalled entirely and we have to manually reinstall it. Does anyone know what causes this and how to correct it?

Hello,
We'll need a few log files to investigate this further. Please provide the following log files:
FlashInstall.log file from one or more impacted systems. If the machine is 64-bit, there will be two files.
32-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
64-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash AND C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
msiexec install log fileYou'll need to provide the 'log' argument when running msiexec to create the log file.
Since the files will be large, please share them using the How to share a document instructions.
Thank you in advance.

Difficulties installing flash player via GPO

Hello, I'm attempting to try and deploy flash player via GPO to computers on our domain, and in testing, I am unable to get the MSI's to install after doing a gpupdate and letting the PC restart as it requests.
I've followed the instructions Adobe has listed for deploying to AD via GPO to the letter, I have the shares on a publicly accessible location, the software assigned in the GPO, and the GPO linked to my testing container with the testing PCs. All the PCs are fully patched, just nothing happens after a reboot. I can publish the MSI's just fine to where I can see them available to install via GPO, but I want to assign them instead. Does anyone have some insights into what could be going wrong?

I'm still not having any luck with this, does anyone have any advice at all?

Deploying Adobe Creative Cloud via GPO

A few months ago my long and lasting journey with Adobe CC started and I was pretty eager to deploy the software in our enterprise. As it comes out, with a little help from Adobe, that just made me crazy and a few pretty pointless and sensless tests I finally managed it somehow to get Adobe CC deployment via GPO. None of our users have local admin rights due to restrictive policy in our enterprise. All testing and configuration was made on Windows 7 Enterprise (x86 and x64) machines.
As we don't use SCCM in our environment it was critical to use "simple" GPO rollout for software. As there are MSI's with all the packages I started my journey...
To start it all of:
As it seems, you cannot buy licenses any more permanent and you can buy them via subscription. OK, that's one way to go and since we need all these products in future we went in evaluating it. Since we cannot buy licenses in a big order like adobe wants us to we were only left to buy the creative cloud for teams and not for enterprise. Still, this was fine to, since adobe offered the cloud packager and a lot of documentation, i thought at least.
To test and make sure that we can deploy all of the wanted features of creative cloud we bought 2 licenses for the IT-staff. During testing, late semptember/october 2014, with the cloud packager in version 1.6 I was able to deploy the packages and software as we wanted. Just as information, we wanted our users to have Bridge, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamveawer, Prelude and the most important thing, we did NOT want the creative cloud desktop application due to company restrictions. Well as mentioned before everything worked as charm and I was just happy to start ordering the licenses for all of our users and get things done
Well, as a lot surely know, the process of ordering the licenses and getting things rolling in a enterprise sometimes takes a little (more) time. After about one or two months later everything was ready and set and I was feeling like this is going to be a piece of cake. Make new packages with the cloud packager, create the gpo's, test the deployment, invite the users and I'm the king of the jungle.
That was what I thought...
Adobe was so nice to release the newer and more improved version (I think 1.7 or 1.8) of the cloud packager, that suddenly hasn't been able to deactivate the creative cloud desktop application. Well, not a problem I thought to myself, I'll just uninstall it later on and it's fine. Since there are about 20 users that were getting the software it would be a not so nice job, but once done it's done and it shouldn't happen again.
Then i was hit by Adobe with a colossal fist right in the face! Why are you asking? Well as I mentioned above, the deployment via GPO worked fine and now? Not anymore, since the exception deployer couldn't install the applications it just broke everything and didn't even try to install the other applications that don't need the exception deployer. After a few e-mails and further testing, run as local admin, run installation after being copied to local, I lost fate that this is ever going to work.
Adobe gave me the best help they could and I even had a deployment expert in on a web session and he gave me a short commandlet (exception deployer) and said that it has to work this way but surprise, it didn't. As I was getting more and more frustrated by this situation and the exception deployer I started to shrink down the packages as much as possible so that there are no applications that needed to be deployed with the exception deployer. I run tests and guess what? It worked! Man, was I happy that after almost a month things started getting in the right shape. As I couldn't sleep because of this mess I started testing the applications that Adobe techs said needed the exception deployer. I created a new package just for Lightroom 5 (yeah, I know there is a newer version out now, but not at that moment) and saw that it landed in this exception folder that is made during packaging with the cloud packager. I was just curious to test it and made a new GPO for just Lightroom, as a MSI was also within the package I figured, why not give it a try? It worked again!?! I was pretty surprised due to the information that it shouldn't be working, as Adobe techs stated.
The simpler problem was the creative cloud desktop application. After having the Adobe techs in on a websession they stated, that it should work if I choose enterprise licensing to get rid of this software. But due to Adobe's updating policy of the creative cloud packager, there has been a newer version released (1.9) that opted out this feature to deactivate the installation of the creative cloud desktop application. I thought myself, why? Just please tell us why Adobe do we need this? But OK, there was also a solutions for this problem, the adobe creative cloud cleaning tool. If you create and XML file that is being read from the cleaning tool you can run this and "almost silently" uninstall the software via GPO. I gave it a shot and it works like a charm.
To be honest I thought, that Adobe due to it's status as THE software company when it comes to creating/editing multimedia content they would know about the problems some of their customers across the globe could be having. As it seems, they don't care enough or haven't ever had somebody with a similar problem(what I cannot believe, but all right) to share some more detailed information about a case like this.
I know, why have we bought it, if we don't need any cloud space? Well it's simple, Adobe creative products are needed and the CS6 products won't be here forever so it's better to start sooner than later with migration to a newer release. Still I was hoping to get more help from Adobe....
Just to share the packages with you:
"Complete 32Bit" package includes: Audition CS6+Updates, Bridge CC, Dreamweaver CC 2014.1, Edge Animate CC 2014, Fireworks CS6, Illustrator CC 2014, Incopy CC 2014, InDesign CC 2014, Photoshop CC 2014, Prelude CS6
"Complete 64Bit" package includes: Audition CS6+Updates, Bridge CC, Dreamweaver CC 2014.1, Edge Animate CC 2014, Fireworks CS6, Illustrator CC 2014, Incopy CC 2014, InDesign CC 2014, Photoshop CC 2014, Prelude CS6, Premiere Pro CC 2014, SpeedGrade CC 2014
"InDesign 32Bit" package includes: InDesign CC 2014
"InDesign 64Bit" package includes: InDesign CC 2014
"Lightroom 5 32Bit" package: Lightroom 5
"Lightroom 5 64Bit" package: Lightroom 5
None of these packages needed the exception deployer to be run. It was all tested on different (also different machine specs) 32bit and 64bit machines. The OS was always Windows 7 Enterprise.
To uninstall the creative cloud desktop application i wrote a batch file:
@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST C:\log_adobe_cc_cleaner\*.* EXIT ## checks if this folder is existent. If not it continues. If there is the folder it stops and won't run again ##
mkdir C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner ## creates a temp folder, as the uinstall tool can only be run locally ##
xcopy \\your_server\your_share$\adobecc\adobecc-cleaner\*.* C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner\*.* /Y ## copies the complete content of the folder to the newly created local folder ##
call "C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner\AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe" --cleanupXML=C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner\cleanup_desktop_app.xml
xcopy "%Temp%\Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log" "C:\log_adobe_cc_cleaner\*.*" /Y ## copies the log file to folder, creates the folder itself ##
rmdir /q /s "C:\temp_adobe_cc_cleaner" ## removes the adobe creative cloud unintaller from local machine, leaves the log file folder for further check if the creative cloud uninstall tool needs to be rerun ##
The XML file has following written:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Products>
<Properties>
<Property name="eulaAccepted">1</Property>

</Properties>
<CreativeCloud>
<Product productName="Adobe Creative Cloud" version="2.0"/>

</CreativeCloud>
<AdobeIdCredentials>

</AdobeIdCredentials>
</Products>
Updating of the Adobe products is done with Secunia CSI in our enterprise, but there is also the posibility to remotely run the updatemanager.exe or via logon/logoff script.
What I also found out, was the dependency of vcredist for adobe products. You need the 2010, 2012 of them and most importantly in the x86 and x64 version! In case you get a .DLL missing error.
I hope this here helps someone who has lost a lot of nerves and a lot of time due to the deployment of Adobe creative cloud applications. I stil hope that there is going to be a better and easier way to deploy this.
Excuse me for the bad english, good luck with your deployment and maybe we can get Adobe a bit smarter from our all experience to make us a good deployment method.
