Use msiexec to remotely install an .msi file accross the network

I'm trying to install an .msi file via group policy but am not having any success. How can I install an .msi file onto computers accross the network using the msiexec command instead of psexec? I'm using this scriptwith psiexec below to no avail,
I'm running the script as domain admin and the everyone, domain users and domain computer security groups all have ntfs full control permissions to the share folder and co-owner permissions
to the share. I can also install the package manually and reach the share from the computer using
\\servername\share
C:\Users\hrice>psexec \\10.1.20.164 -u abc\admin -p password!! msiexec /i "\\abc-fs\comp
any\IT\Shared\Adobe Flash Player\install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi\install_flash_play

Doesn't matter, you wanted to use group policy to assign the MSI over the network anyways, right.

* 1 - Click the Windows "Start" button and type "gpedit.msc" and press "Enter." This is the shortcut command to open the group policy editor.
* 2 - Double-click the "Computer Configuration" icon to expand some options. Click "Software Settings." Right-click "Software Configuration" and select "New Package" to open a "New Package" wizard.
* 3 - Click the "Open" button and point to the location of your MSI file. This can be on a network drive, or on the network server. Click "Open" to save the location.
* 4 - Click the "Assigned" option and click "OK." The "Assigned" option assigns it to network users. You can disable the package in the future by editing the group policy properties and removing this check box.
* 5 - Click "OK" to save your package. The new package is shown in the details pane and it takes effect the next time your users log in to the network.

  • Trouble installing a *.msi file on a folder using Windows 7

    I'm having trouble installing a *.msi file created under Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2005 on a Windows 7 machine.  The problem occurs when I attempt to provide a directory for installation, but the installation wizard always defaults to the C: root
    folder.  I can always move the created files and folders from the *.msi wizard to a directory of my choosing and run the tool
    successfully.  But, I'm confused has to why the *.msi wizard always defaults to the C: root.
    I have tried running the *.msi file in administrative mode using the various published methods but none of those methods are made available, in fact they are all disabled.  I.e. right click the *.msi file has a disabled "Run as Administrator"
    option.  The properties under the *.msi file to "Run As Administrator" is also disabled.  And running the *.msi file under msiexec as also proven
    unsuccessful.

    Hello Marco,
    From your description, this issue is related with the .msi file, i am afraid it is beyond the scope of our support, this current forum is used to discuss and ask questions about .NET Framework Base Classes (BCL) such as Collections, I/O, Regigistry, Globalization,

  • How to configure Mail software to store all related files on the network

    I know that Mail software stores all files in Library/Mail under my home directory. Since I have a MacBook Air (with lesser disk space than other Macs), I'm trying to see if I can get the Mail software to read/write files to a network folder instead of Library/Mail. I have done the same with iPhoto in that it looks at the library file from the network and not the local disk. Any ideas of this can be done for the Mail software? Or if this is advisable?

    you can do it but I'm not sure if it's advisable. You'd have to test and see how well it works. also, the network drive has to be mounted at all times when you are using Mail, otherwise Mail will crash.
    quit Mail. Mount the remote volume. copy the directory homedirectory/Library/Mail to the remote volume and trash the original.
    then open terminal and do the following.
    type
    ln -s
    do not press enter yet. press space and drag the copied directory from the remote volume to the terminal window. press space again and type
    ~/Library
    the result should look something like this
    ln -s /Volumes/remote-drivename/Mail ~/Library
    Press enter in terminal. This will create a symbolic link (it will look like an alias in Finder) to the new location of the Mail folder. Now when you start Mail it should behave normally. In case of problems, quit Mail, delete the symbolic link and move the folder back.

  • Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

    Good Evening Everyone,
    I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
    I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement. 
    Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications. 
    There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
    open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network. 
    Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
    full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
    I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close. 
    PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software. 
    Thanks,

    Try: 
    Open My Computer.
    Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
    Select the File Types tab.
    Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
    In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open. 
    In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

  • WIFI dies when transferring big files over the network

    Hi, I have Dell Inspiron 1520 with ipw3945 driver, when I transfer big files over the network, my wifi dies, anybody knows what could it be? If you need additional information, feel free to ask...
    Thanks in advance

    I guess we shall see. I can't imagine we are the only 7 with these issues.  Mine is mainly just lag... and overall slowness.  I hope to work through this.  If it lasts much longer I will have to revert back all 3 of my lappies to FC which I really do not want to do.  But on the lappies i connect via wireless 90% of the time and need it to work. 
    By the way how are you guys configuring your wifi?  I am using the iwl drivers and wicd.
    Well I did some more testing and loaded up netcfg and still get the same results so that rules out that part.  I also did some packet captures and I am getting a bunch of tcp retransmissions followed by tcp segment lost followed by a reset which in turn kills my rdp session (remote desktop protocol). I also went back several versions of the uucode driver and still get the same reults so I guess it seems to be a kernel issue.  Back to FC I go.  Damn shame...

  • Streaming audio file over the network w JMF. How to know when the file end

    Hi
    I am streaming audio file over the network using JMF. I want to be able to know when a file end so I can close the streaming session.
    Can some one please help
    Thanks

    If you put a ControllerListener on the Processor that's associated with generating the RTP stream, it'll generate an "EndOfMedia" event when the end of the file is reached.

    I tried the process and was happy to note that there was some process that I managed to start because the process did start ...
    However to my disappointment,  landed back at the same status which says

    I was using a GEVEY sim unlock with iOS 4.1 since (almost) last 2 yrs now in India on Vodafone. But as Apple designed it, there were several apps including Whatsapp, Facebook, Gmail and LinkedIn that stopped functioning due to the iOS updates and the subsequent (I guess 'mandatory' App updates). Finally yesterday I thought of updating to the iOS 6. As soon as I did that, I have been left with no choice but to see the above message.
    The process by jhidrowoh starts corectly but iTunes doesnt give you the option of restore only ... it is forcefully clubbed with update and the button that is displayed in the dialog box that appears on pressing 'Restore' in teh recovery mode, shows 'Restore and Update' and as soon as the iPhone is restored, it automatically updates the iOS as well to iOS 6 and hence leaves you hanging in the stale situation.

  • Backing up/moving files to the network?

    I had been using my laptop for all itunes purchases, but I've been getting addicted to the Itunes TV show section, which is dangerous when you've only got 160 gigs of space in the form of 2 80 gig drives. It just doesn't feel right to delete stuff that I've actually paid for to make room for new shows, so I really need to try something new.
    There's entirely too much data for me to back up to CDs or DVDs. I've got - drumroll please - over 120 gigs of pure itunes music and video. 50 gigs on one drive, 70 gigs on he other.
    To get to the point, I'm on a network, and I want to move or backup everything to the server. I tried something like that before and ended up with a completely invalidated library in which none of the files would play (I had to get a support representtive to resupply my purchases to get them back). I couldn't find any information about transferring files over the network, and I'm scared to just do a simple "copy and paste" because I might end up with the same situation I had before.
    Can anyone help?

    I was able to move a file of text from hard drive to network drive. Still cannot move the music though.

  • Can i use airplay if my apple tv is connected to the network by ethernet cable?

    Can I use Airplay  if my Apple tv is connected to the network using an Ethernet cable as apposed to a WiFi connection.

    Thanks. I therefore have a problem as I cannot connect my ipad to the Apple TV. When trying to connect via Airplay my other apple tv appears (that is connected only via WiFi and that connects OK) but the Apple tv connected via the Ethernet does not show. I have looked at all the settings on both apple TV's and the only difference I can see is one is connected via WiFi and the other through Ethernet cable. Any ideas on what I need to check out?

  • How to Uninstall Crystal Reports installed via .msi file

    Post Author: epowers0213
    CA Forum: General
    Hello,
    We are installing crystal reports on some clustered servers using the CRRedist2005_x86.msi so that a web application which uses Crystal Reports will run properly.  (Visual Studio is not installed on these servers.)
    If there is any problem caused by running the CRRedist2005_x86.msi program, how could we back out the installation/uninstall this version of Crystal Reports?  Our server administration group wants me to provide an "uninstall program" just in case running the .msi file causes problems for any of the other applications on the server.  However, I have not been able to find any information on this on the Business Objects web site (apart from some manual uninstall directions).
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you in advance!

    XMI is XML with a specified format. 
    Looking at the XMI format definition for the XML, it doesn't appear if it will automatically be consumed by Crystal. 
    Crystal expects relational, rather than hierarchial, data - so you'd need to find a way of exposing the data within XMI as a relational dataset.
    Sincerely,
