Software install GPO issue

[Theldron]

Hi, the software installer GPO on my server 2008r2 is failing. On the PC event viewer I am getting this error:

 

The computer '' preference item in the 'SoftwareInstalls {D41C7433-9DFC-4385-A97B-C8AC2BACF97E}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x8007052e Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.' This error was suppressed.

 

The PC is running Windows 7 Enterprise. It was running Windows 7 Pro, but I wanted to use applocker and bitlocker so remade the base image with Enterprise. The PC I am using I use for testing images, GPOs etc before putting them out in production. All the other group policies install fine it is just this.

 

The GPO results on the Server 2008r2 machine says:

 

Software Installation Failed 19/07/2017 11:36:15

Software Installation failed due to the error listed below.

 

The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.

 

Additional information may have been logged. Review the Policy Events tab in the console or the application event log for events between 19/07/2017 11:35:34 and 19/07/2017 11:36:15.

 

Any ideas?

Cheers

Sean

at a guess the share with the msi in isnt accessible to the computers account ou probal need to add ntfs/share permissions for eith authenticated users or domain computers. its also worth checking you havnt done like everyone has at some point and have the msi installing from d: or s: etc it needs to be a unc path

Hi mate, I have looked at what you suggested but its still not working. I have removed some GPOs and seeing if I can identify whats going on. It was all working so not sure what is happening.

I have checked the shares and can access them from the PC. The right permissions are there and I have ensured that all the GPO are pointing to the UNC of the MSI. Still not happening. Please help.

Reinstalling Win7Pro image, not sure what difference it will make but the GPOs were working fine on this.

[Theldron]

Ok!!!!!!

 

Reimaged PC with Windows 7 Pro and the software in the GPO installed no problem, though on GPResults wizard it gives me the same error. I hate computers i'm joining the circus as a lion tamer. :frusty:

Still having issues with Windows 7 Enterprise not allowing software to install keep getting the same error in GPO Results:

 

The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.

 

Know these work as Win 7 Pro installs them fine.

 

Don't know whats happening.

 

Would be happy to use Win 7 Pro, but can't get a gpo to work to block powershell tried SRP but not having any of it. Any help would be appreciated.

try a really simple msi that has no prerequisites something like chrome. the error message to me is just saying that the pcs account dosent have access to the unc path try giving authenticated users read/execute access to the share both ntfs and sharing permissions

With you saying you were wanting to try applocker and bitclocker, is there a chance that your GPO surrounding these settings are causing the issue? If everything else remains the same.....

Found out the issue, hadn't installed all the updates before I made the image, must have missed something important. All working now.
