Deploying client through gpo

We have a small site and the client msi is deployed through group policy assigned applications. Looking at the logs while trouble shooting another issue I noticed what appeared like the client re-installing itself to the original deployed version as it
later got updated by sccm during an update?
Does the client not have facilities internally to mitigate this, or is it expected and therefore not recommended to deploy the msi client given this caveat?
Thanks!

I have always used the MSI when adding it into a GPO. Haven't done it for a while though.

CU updates are small and not classed as upgrades, these usually have to be carried out by deploying the client upgrade package that is automatically created when you install any CU.
http://www.ronnipedersen.com/2014/08/sccm-2012-how-does-automatic-client-upgrade-work/
If you push out the client via GPO or via client push you will find that version 5.00.7958.1000 is installed to the device.
If you are using MDT/OSD you can include the latest version of the client with the CU included.
I think Jason's startup script also searches for any MSP's in a folder specified so also distributes the latest client with the latest CU.

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 JRE through GPO with MSI uninstalls instead of installing

I am trying to deploy JRE 6 Update 19 via GPO using the MSI. It installs properly on systems that either do not have JRE installed or a previous version. However, any systems that already have Update 19 on them from a previous manual install end up getting uninstalled by the GPO. The system is then left thinking that it has Update 19 installed properly, but does not. Basically what happens is the installer starts, determines that "this software has already been installed on your computer" and proceeds to "reinstall it". So it removes the first installation, windows "configures" Java, and then when it finishes uninstalling, it simply quits instead of continuing on to actually perform the installation again. At this point, the GPO believes it has been successfully applied to the workstation, and will not attempt to re-install itself on any subsequent reboots. How can I keep this from happening?
As a sidenote, any systems that have a later Update (20, 21, or 22) that were installed manually will just ignore the policy installation as it determines it to be an "older" version. Is there any way to force the uninstall of the newer version and install the policy Update 19 version?
Thanks!

How to install Adobe Pro through GPO?

I currently install several pieces of software for our users through Group Policy, and would like to do the same with Adobe Pro for specific computers. I created a AD group that has the machines I want Adobe installed. I have the install files, and our license key, and ran msiexec /a AcroPro.msi and picked a folder to store the install too.
But when I boot up one of these machines, it "seems" like it goes through the process, but when I log in, I don't see any evidence that Acrobat Pro has been installed.
I've noticed that if I run the MSI manually it asks me which program should be default, Reader or Pro...... is this causing a problem when installing through the GPO?
What's the best way to proceed with this????? I went through the procedures listed http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/gpo_ad_9.pdf but am still having problems.....
Thanks.

The cause of problem is something else.
If you have reader installed on your machine and then if you deploy Acrobat via GPO then Acrobat would get installed and also become the default application for viewing PDF files.
How are you specifying the serial number while deploying via GPO?

Remove the third party software through GPO

Hi
I'm trying to remove a software, that installed through GPO from every client machine.
Right click the software from GPO and select All Tasks -> Remove
Select the radio button Immediately uninstall the software from users and computers and click OK
In my client machine Run the command "gpupdate \force" in command prompt and restart my computer. but when i check in Add or remove programs the software is still there.
Why it not removing from my client machine?
I need to run "gpupdate \force" after every action in all computer to make the changes..? like update my software with new version
Thanks
Bobbin

Most of the software have an uninstall string.where we can use to uninstall the software using command line.
you can use below mentioned free tool to find uninstall string from the registry.
https://finduninstallstring.codeplex.com
once you find the uninstall string you can use logon or startup script to uninstall software

Modify / Add registry keys through GPO

Hi
How can we add / modify registry key through GPO (we are using Windows 2003 AD). Our requirement is to add / modify below key
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Ole , Name: EnableDCOM, Type: REG_SZ, Data: Y
Thanks in advance
LMS

Hi,
In addition to the above suggestions, Registry GPP is another alternative method to achieve your goal.
You do not need to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 to use Group Policy Preference policies. You can configure a Group
Policy preference item in a Windows Server 2003 environment from either a Windows Server 2008/R2 server or a Windows Vista with Service Pack 1/Windows 7 client with RSAT update installed. If you do not have Windows Server 2008/R2 server, you can download
and install Remote Server Administration Tools on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 client to manage and configure them.

Error installing MBAM client through SCCM task sequence error code 80070005

Hi
I'm getting a weird error when trying to deploy the MBAM 2.0 client through a task sequence, it was working but now keep seeing the below two errors in the AppEnforce log, after it has returned the 3010 soft reboot code.
CoCreateInstance failed on CLSID_ProductSrcUpdateMgr, error 80070005
Failed to update msi source list, error 0x80070005
does anyone have any idea what these mean?
thanks
Mark

What is the silent installation command line for MBAM client you are using. I would suggest to first test the silent installation manually and test whether it is working successfully or not.
Are you using the msi installer or the setup.exe
Command Line for Deploying the MBAM 2.0 Client
MBAMClientSetup.exe /q

Deploying Client from new ConfigMgr Server

We did a side by side upgrade of our ConfigMgr Server. And for some reason we are getting errors when we try to install our clients. This doesnt happen to all deployed clients just some of them.
OLD-SMS-01 = is our old 2007 ConfigMgr Server
NEW-SMS-02 = is our new 2012 SP1 ConfigMgr Server
When we go to the ccmsetup.log on a client that had failed, I see this:
Failed to check url https://OLD-SMS-01.domain.com:443/CCM_Client/ccmsetup.cab. Error 0x80072ee7
ccmsetup 2/6/2014 3:26:38 PM
1752 (0x06D8)
I looked all through the Administration to see if there was any trace of this and I am not able to see where this data is set.
Thank you in advance.

Did you get rid of the boundaries for the old site or cleanup the AD System Management container? Boundaries are stored in this AD container. Thus, if you didn't remove them from the old site and haven't cleraned up the container, you need to go do that
now.

Deploying Reader through Group Policy

Hi,
I have applied for and been granted a deployment license, and am trying to follow the instructions to deploy reader through group policy to computers on my network.
The document adobe gives you says to put the computer name under security filtering in the OU GP that was created. I have done this but it's clear the policy isn't getting applied.
When I run group policy result, it's not even showing so I must have something wrong. The document that adobe gives has several of the pictures out of place and is covering some text (at least when I display it - and yes I am using most current version of reader).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Allen

Unless I'm misunderstanding your last reply, the GPO is working as intended, when you change it back.
GPO = Applied to one specific OU
Security Filtering = 1 specific PC
Active Directory OU for intended GPO contains = 0 computers
The PC you're applying the security filtering to must exist in the Active Directory OU you created for the GPO.
E.G. I create a GPO called acc_sw for my Accounting dept called accounting. 3 PCs in accounting are called:
Ed_PC
Karen_PC
Thomas_PC
In the security filtering for the GPO I created, I have:
Ed_PC
Karen_PC
Thomas_PC
Now, in Active Directory Users & Computers, in the accounting OU I have 0 computers.
The end result is no acc_sw being processed for:
Ed_PC
Karen_PC
Thomas_PC
They must exist in the target OU, or a suboordinate OU of the target OU, for the GPO to work.

Deploying office through group policy

Hi people,
English is not my mother language so i'll hope you'll understand me.
I have a school project. Deploying office through group policy worked. But now my teacher has given me a command to give all OU's a different OFFICE packet when they logged in. So.. it will change the current installation when a different user from a different
OU logged in. I'm out of options. Please can anybody help me:(:(

No you don't misunderstand :p My teacher first did it wit Office 2003 and know i must do it in office2010.. and i also thought it was a stupid idea.. But who am i... i have not much knowledge in IT.. i'm still learning.
But i have 2 options
To confince him that this is not a good idea... (and i dont know with wich argument)
or find a way to do this...
Hmm, so, I think that kind of crazy was possible with very old versions of Office, which could be "advertised" via GPO to achieve per-user scenarios, but Office2007 and later versions, don't provide such different per-user options as part of setup.
Office2007 and later, uses the MSPfile etc for customization, and that is per-machine (common to all users of that machine).
You might be able to achieve something similar, by using AppLocker (e.g. AppLocker rules which deny excel.exe to be executed by GRP_Students).
But this doesn't address the matter nicely, because the Students can see the Excel shortcut/icon/program, but are forbidden to execute it.

Can anyone please tell what exactly the issue could be because of which that particular file is not recognized.
Thanks & regards,

Hi,
Its always advisable to use JSPM for the installation. Copy all the installable files in the JSPM temp folder and the instalation will be taken care and you don't have to worry about dependencies.
If you are using SDM make sure that you deploy PCUI_GP component FIRST, then the other components in any order.

How to edit deployment plan through Administration Console in weblogic 9.0?

hi, 
I need to edit the deployment plan through console. But i'm not able to do so.Everytime i upload an ear file and tired to edit the environment variables or deployment plan through console it gives the message
"This module is defined with DTD based descriptors and cannot be edited using the console. " 
I have been manually editing the deployment plan file so far. 
In earlier versions of weblogic , there was an option to edit the environmental variables. Does weblogic 9.0 support the same? 
I'm not able to find a solution soo far. 
Please guide me. 
Thanks 
Smita

Hi.
I'm experiencing the same problem, using Weblogic 9.1.
I have an ear file that contains a war file.
Previously, the files were in servlet api 2.3 format (with a DTD). I used the DDConverter tool to update the files, and now I can use the console to change parameters for the web application, but I still can't change paramters for the main application: "This module is defined with DTD based descriptors and cannot be edited using the console.".
Here is the content of the META-INF/application.xml contained in mey ear file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.4">
