GPO for Application Deployment

i'm stumped problem hope can give me suggestions.

put i've got msi need deploy. i've got server (windows 2008) in usa , in uk (windows 2003).

so, software package put same location on both servers, shares set up, etc.

2 gpo's created depending deploying software depending on ou machine in.

fine far.

fired test xp box, put usa ou , sure enough application deploys windows 2008 server , good.

rebuilt test xp box, fired up, put in uk ou , application tries deploy uk fails error:

"failed apply changes software installation settings.  software changes not applied.  previous log entry details should exist.  error : installation source product not available.  verify source exists , can access it. "

ok, test fire command prompt , launch under nt auth\system - sure enough anonymous access blocked on 2003 box change local policy allow anonymous connections , xp box connects still doesn't have permission run msi.

running via nt auth\system account error "the installation package not opened".

package exist, works if use domain credentials , on. server member of same domain , client... can't work out i've missed.

suggestions?

cheers

hi,

 if using software deployment under computer configuration section of gpo, make sure machine account has permissions server share , folder containing msi. local system indeed used, used access data on other computer, computer account must granted permissions. anonymous connections should not required.

thanks,
