Hi,

We are facing a issue. Actually our MSI occasionally fails when it tries to add 
a user to the Administrators group.
It is not able to find out Administrators group itself ???.This is a random 
behavior. It has been observed that the problem
happens more often when virtual 1-box is being used Instead of physical 1-box.  
The MSI is installed using the Administrator
login and the machine is a domain controller named (STUONBBOX5DOM).The 
OCSDumpUser is the Domain user of STUONBBOX5DOM.


The following is the log that is being generated which is of interest

MSI (s) (D8:24) [00:54:45:062]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=CreateUser,,)

The following is the lines in the wxs file that does the needful.

        <Group Id='AdministratorsGroup' Domain='[PCFDUMPTOOLDOMAIN]' 
Name='Administrators' />
                                                :
                                                :
                                                :
<User Id='PCFDumpUser' Name='[PCFDUMPTOOLACCOUNT]' Domain='[PCFDUMPTOOLDOMAIN]' 
CreateUser='yes' UpdateIfExists='yes' RemoveOnUninstall='no' 
Password='[PCFDUMPTOOLPASSWORD]'>
                                            <GroupRef Id='AdministratorsGroup' 
/>
                </User>

Please give me some pointers on how the problem can be debugged.

Regards
Bikash
