I'm having an issue with deploying .MSI files, mainly to update Adobe Flash, over Group Policy.
Some machines seem to have no issues, but others, some of which are Wireless clients, are not getting the updates.
I have run gpresult and confirmed that the policy in question is in fact applying to the machines in question.
My policy has also set the following settings:
Group Policy Slow Link Detection - Disabled
Always wait for Network at computer startup and logon - Enabled
The event log continually says that this will be processed on the next logon because it needs to be processed before logon, but it never happens no matter how many times I reboot.
The event log also shows the following errors: (Does anyone know what %%2 and %%1274 are?)
