Hi,
I have a domain comprising approx. 30 ADCs, 5000 clients and 50 OUs. Our developers have created a c# Program for fetching some information from client machines and displaying them on their screen on bootup (presence of 2 particular softwares, antivirus presence and its update date, OS patches updation etc... ). This program(.msi) and .net framework 4.0 is required to be pushed to all client machines. We have SCCM server through which we can push software to be installed on clients. There are no. of ADCs for controlling different sites and OUs. Now I need to push this msi and .net framework to all clients. Dotnet framework I pushed from SCCM & it is successful.
Till today I have pushed this .MSI package using Group policy software installation settings using a local sharepath & sysvol.
In Local Share path , MSI source is availbale at only one ADC and all clients contact this adc only to install software and its taking very long time to boot.
Using Sysvol share path , MSI Source is available at All ADC and All Clients Contact their Site's ADC to install software.Only Win 7, win 8 machines are getting install and software is not able to install on XP and vista machine. What might be the problem for xp machine getting it from sysvol path?
The error for XP machines is that Sysvol path is not accessible/ source is not available.
Now I need to have some other fullproof method to apply it. How I need to push this .MSI packages to all sites (ADCs) in my child domain from my PDC.
I want to know the steps & methods for installing & uninstalling this .MSI package using Group policy and SCCM as well.
Thanks for replying...
