How to install MSP on selected computers via GPO Startup VBscript

Hi folks,
I'm trying to write a vbscript that will run on startup and do the following:
1) Detect whether or not a particular application is installed
2) Determine if the latest version of said application is installed
3) If not, run the MSP update from a server and apply the patch before login.
I'm on a domain, and the script works when manually run from a command prompt.  I also have the script added to a test GPO under Computer Config>Windows Settings>Startup, but since this is my first real attempt at scripting, I'm not sure how to
determine why the *.MSP file isn't running and get this working.
Here's my code so far:
Const HKLM = &H80000002 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
strComputer = "."
strKey = "SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\"
strEntry1a = "DisplayName"
strEntry1b = "QuietDisplayName"
strEntry1c = "DisplayVersion"
strEntry1d = "UninstallString"
' Set args = Wscript.Arguments ' Get Command Line Argument
' strVersion = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts://" & strComputer & "/root/default:StdRegProv")
objReg.EnumKey HKLM, strKey, arrSubkeys
intVersionNum="1.0"
For Each strSubkey In arrSubkeys
intRet1 = objReg.GetStringValue(HKLM, strKey & strSubkey, strEntry1a, strValue1)
if intRet1 <> "" Then
objReg.GetExpandedStringValue HKLM, strKey & strSubkey, strEntry1a, strValue1
intCompare=StrComp("Adobe Acrobat XI Pro",strValue1,vbTextCompare)
IF intCompare = 0 THEN
objReg.GetExpandedStringValue HKLM, strKey & strSubkey, strEntry1c, intVersionNum
END IF
End If
Next
IF intVersionNum="1.0" THEN
WScript.Quit 2 ' Not Found
END IF
intVersionCompare=StrComp("11.0.06",intVersionNum,vbTextCompare)
IF intVersionCompare = 0 THEN ' Everything OK
WScript.Quit 0
ELSE ' Run Update
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WSCript.shell")
oShell.run "msiexec.exe /update \\RedactedServer\gpo\Acrobat\AcrobatXIPro\AcrobatUpd11006.msp /quiet"
WScript.Quit 1
END IF
Note: RedactedServer isn't a variable; I removed our servername.  Also, I'm reasonably certain there isn't a permissions issue because we use the \\RedactedServer\GPO\ to successfully deliver all of our MSI GPO updates.
When I restart, it looks like the script starts to run(?), but the update isn't installed.  In the Application log, all I see is this:
But, there's no follow-up entry indicating that it was successful or even completed.
Ideally, I'd also like to be able to pass in a command line parameter from the GPO so I can update it without having to edit the script every time a new update comes out, but I'd prefer to run before I fly.
Lastly, yes, the script is looking for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I'm aware I can slipstream the MSP into an AIP and push it that way, but I don't want to redeploy a 2.3 GB installation to each computer that needs an update every 3 months when this will
accomplish the goal much quicker and more efficiently.
Does anyone have ideas?  I've beat my head against this all day, and my search-fu doesn't seem to be helping me find the answers I need.
Thanks,
Rick

Microsoft note that Office 2013 cannot be installed by Software Distribution.  The MSP you have is a patch file.  The script is a cleaner.
I do not know what is waiting for what or what script you may be referring to.
If you think it is fixed then good but I do not really understand what you are saying has worked.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hi Abhijit,
    I am able to install InDesign CS6 manually on the machines from the CD/DVD however when trying to install it via GPO or running the msi using the msi exec commands it doesn't install and leaves the above errors in the event log.
    The installation was made using the same CD/DVD and the installation works on the Windows XP clients and software other than InDesign CS6 will install to the Win 7 64-bit machines via GPO.
    Cheers,

  • Restart computers via GPO

    Hello all,
    I would like to do restart all our lab computers (joined into domain) daily at 23:59. Is there anyway I can schedule the script via GPO ? My domain controller in on windows 2003 ent server.
    Throw your ideas or point me in right direction how to achieve this.
    Madal

     
    Hello Madal,
    Thank you for your reply.
    “Is there a way to encrypt the password ?”
     Based on my research, you can create a “Schtasks Helper script” and “Encode” it to improve security as described in the following example:
    1. On this share create a VBS file called Schtasks.vbs with the following code:
    Schtasks.vbs
    set shell=wscript.createobject("Wscript.shell")
    shell.run "schtasks /create /ru <administrator> /rp <password> /sc dialy /st 23:59:00 /tn shutdown /tr \\servershare\shutdown.bat”
    shutdown.bat
    shutdown /t 0 /r
    2. Download the Windows Script Encoder from:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e7877f67-c447-4873-b1b0-21f0626a6329&displaylang=en&Hash=2eeLrR1Fo%2bgy0pOMTILIDCo2B6FWF5ncnlQW61ur2UdX0K7ZsIKKjttmjR%2bpFX5MMlQ4EW7GWRIwNA%2f4WFS0rw%3d%3d
    3. Encrypt the original .vbs file:
    screnc original_vbs_file.vbs vbs_encrypted_file.vbe
    The script encoder is a command-line tool that allows a scriptwriter to protect the contents of a script from unauthorized copies or modifications while (at the same time) allowing the script to run.

    Actually, I also agree with Darren. You may use Group Policy Preferences to achieve the goal. It is a feature new in Microsoft Windows Server 2008. Group Policy preferences include mapped drives, scheduled tasks, and Start menu settings. For many types of operating system and application settings, using Group Policy preferences is a better alternative to configuring them in Windows images or using logon scripts. In fact, the new policy features in GPP support XP, Server 2003, Vista and Server 2008 “clients”. In order for clients to process GPP policy settings, they must install the GPP Client Side Extension (CSE) package, which is available from following site.

  • How to install msp files

    Since installing Adobe CS4 on a Windows 7 computer, autoupdate stopped working including Acrobat.

    Please advise me how to update Acrobt with msp files.

    Dear Neelam Y,
    Thank you for your reply.  You are correct.  I downloaded a map file for Acrobat Pro Extended by a mistake. I don't know what the difference is between Arobat Pro and Acrobat Pro Extended.   There are too many lingo for Adobe programs.   Anyway, I was able to update Acrobat 9.13 patch.  
    From the adobe download site (see the attachment Adobe download.png),  I dowloaded AcrobatUpd930_all_incr.msp  (Adobe Acrobat 9.3 Pro and Standard Update - Multiple Languages) file thinking that this is an update file for v. 9.3.   This file did not indicate that it is for Acrobat Pro Entended.  When I clicked on the 9.3 pro msp fiel, I am getting the same error (see the attachment adobe error.png).  What should  Ido to install Acrobat 9.3 pro?
    Thank you again.

  • How to install FCPX in 2 computers

    Hello
    One thing that stops me buying FCPX is that it is not clear yet if I can install it in my desktop and my laptop as well. For instace like for Adobe creative suite.
    Since FCPX is download only. ...how does this work ?

    We run FCP X on a MacPro and an iMac.
    I purchased the application, and installed on the MacPro. I then created an account on the iMac with me as an admin. Then I went back to the App store and downloaded onto the iMac.
    Easy-peasy.

  • Problems installing Reader 10.1.3 via GPO from AIP

    I have been using GPO to install Reader for a while.  Up til now I have not had any problems that I have not been able to resolve thanks to all of the posts I have seen here.
    I have had Reader 10.1.1 install on all of the computers on the network using GPO.  I just went through the process of creating an AIP (upgraded from 10.1.0 with the MSP file) for 10.1.3 and setup a new package in my GPO for the 10.1.3 install (after using the Customization Wizard to modify it).  Everything appeared to be working properly.  I removed the 10.1.1 package and the 10.1.3 package seems to be getting pushed to the computers on the network.  Unfortunately many of the users have started reporting that they are unable to open PDF files.  Upon investigation the Add/Remove Programs show that the Reader 10.1.3 package has been installed on the computers, but when an Administrative user logs onto the computer and runs the Adobe Reader it appears to complete installation (installing settings or something else).  When the administrative user logs off and the normal user logs onto the same computer it then is fully functional.
    Have I missed something?
    Most computers on the network are Windows XP (fully patched).  We are slowly replacing them with Windows 7.  Users do not have admin rights.
    Anybody else see similar problems?

    lrcjc,
    Have you developed a solution for this issue yet?  I am pushing the installation with a Computer Policy > Startup Script and am having a similar issue.  When I log in as a user I can not use the program.  When I log in as an administrator it will work.  Then, when I log back in as a regular user I can see Reader 10.1.3.  I am in an enterprise environment with XP and 7 machines.  Here is my installation script:
    @echo off
    set server=leejsp-fs2
    set update=10.1.3
    if exist "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%.txt" goto patch
    echo Adobe Reader install started on %date% %time% from %server% >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%.txt"
    echo Installing Adobe Reader...
    msiexec /i "\\%server%\syncnet\Reader_Test\acroread.msi" /qb
    echo Adobe Reader install finished on %date% %time%  >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%.txt"
    :patch
    if exist "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%_%update%.txt" goto end
    echo Adobe Reader %update% Update install started on %date% %time% from %server% >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%_%update%.txt"
    msiexec /p "\\%server%\install\syncnet\Reader_Test\AdbeRdrUpd1013_MUI.msp" /qb
    echo Adobe Reader %update% Update install started on %date% %time% from %server% >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Reader_Test\logs\%computername%_%update%.txt"
    :end
    This script worked perfectly with Reader 9 and update 9.3.2.  Could my parameters be outdated?  Am I missing a parameter that is stopping a non-administrator from finishing the installation?  Anything helps!

    Check Applications/System Preferences/Accounts and confirm that you are still listed as Administrator. One of Leopard's install "bugs" causes Admin. account to become a Standard account. If that has happened read this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876
    If that is not the problem and you are still the big kahuna, then just try /Utilities/Repair Permissions

  • "Add Operation Failed" : Installing v8.0 / 8.1 via GPO Package Fails

    ALL --
    Hello !
    Is anyone able to get the "GPO & AD" white paper method to work using either the 8.0 msi or the 8.1 ?
    When attempting to create the package within the policy (Step 11; white paper page 5), I always receive the following error message :
    "Add operation failed. Unable to extract deployment information from the package. Run validation on the package to ensure that the package is correct."
    The packages I've tested with upon extraction are of the following versions : AcroRead.msi of 5/11/07 6:13 AM which was extracted from AdbeRdr810_en_US.msi I've also tried the 811 extraction to no avail.
    I noted on the Internet version 6.x didn't work with GPO but apparently version 7.x and up has.
    Any hints / suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong ?
    Thanks,
    SP.

  • Deploy reader updates and install/uninstall reader via GPO ???

    Hello,
    Got a couple of questions on install/uninstall via GPO and how to deploy reader updates.
    1) How to uninstall older version of readers via GPO?
    2) Is there an ADM file available for installing the latest reader via GPO?
    3) For reader patch updates, can it be deployed via GPO?  If yes, any docs. I can refer to?  If no, what is the minimum priviledge I must grant to domain users to allow them to run the update function w/in the reader (or assign to a specific file path)?
    Thanks in advance!
    Luke

  • Installing Chrome via GPO

    Hi! I've been working on trying to install Chrome to all Domain Computers via GPO by following this link and cannot figure out what I've been doing wrong but it's not installing on any machine. Can someone tell me if something is missing from these instructions?

    Hi Lynnette74,
    Based on my understanding, you would like to deploy Chrome to all Domain Computers via GPO. Right?
    It would help us to narrow down the cause of this issue if you could provide the following information:
    Did this issue occur in one computer or several computers? This step is to check the cause of this issue is the process of deployment or the installation.
    Do this issue still occur when you manually install this software in this computer? This step is to check if the installation package cause this issue. If you can manually install
    this software successfully, then the deployed installation package may be broken during the deployment. If not, the cause may be the computer or the software, such as compatibility, account permission and so on.
    In addition, you can follow the steps below to check if the GPO is applied to these clients:
    Click
    Start, type rsop.msc in the search box to access
    Resultant set of policy.
    Check if the GPO is applied to these clients and the setting of the GPO is correct.
    For your information, please refer to the following article to learn more about the software deploment via GPO:

  • 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.
