Common Problems When Using Group Policy to Deploy Software
How to Determine the Cause of the Problem
How to Resolve Software Installation Problems When Using Group Policy
Common Problems When Using Group Policy to Deploy Software
Symptom Possible cause
Applications do not appear in Add or Remove Programs
Application is assigned instead of publishedGPO was not applied
Applications do not appear in the Start menu
Application is published instead of assignedGPO was not applied
Applications appear but cannot be installed
Software distribution point is not accessiblePreviously installed applications prevent new installations
How to Determine the Cause of the Problem
Cause Testing method
Application is published instead of assigned
Use RSoP to determine which GPO is being applied
Application is assigned instead of published
GPO was not applied
Software distribution point is not accessible
Manually install the Windows Installer package
Previously installed applications prevent new installations
Create the Windows Installer log file
How to Resolve Software Installation Problems When Using Group Policy
Cause Resolution method
Application is published instead of assigned
Modify the GPOApplication is assigned instead of published
GPO was not applied
Software distribution point is not accessible Change the permissions
Previously installed applications prevent new installations Remove the registry components
