Hello,
I am trying to deploy a sample MSI package which simply installs a
text file to Program Files folder. The setup runs just fine if you run
it through double-clicking or via msiexec /i package.msi command line
interface (with the current user is being an administrator on that
computer). Then I have created a GPO for the domain that the computer
resides and added the MSI package as an Assignment to that user. So
when that user, who is a local admin on that computer, logins the
computer; the installation is deployed to that computer just fine. But
whenever I have removed that user's local admin privileges the MSI
package can not be deployed with these event log error records:
1)
Source : Userenv
Event ID : 1085
User : NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Description : The Group Policy client-side extension Software
Installation failed to execute. Please look for any errors reported
earlier by that extension.
2)
Source : Application Management
Event ID : 108
User : DOMAIN\user.name
Description : Failed to apply changes to software installation
settings. Software changes could not be applied. A previous log
entry with details should exist. The error was : Access is denied.
3)
Source : Application Management
Event ID : 103
User : DOMAIN \user.name
Description : The removal of the assignment of application
{OurProductName} from policy {OurGroupPolicyName} failed. The error
was : The system cannot find the file specified.
4)
Source : Application Management
Event ID : 101
User : DOMAIN \user.name
Description : The assignment of application {OurProductName}
from policy {OurGroupPolicyName} failed. The error was : Access is
denied.
In a nutshell, both (manual and GPO-deployed) installations fail if
the running user is not an admin. Since a GPO-deployed installation is
granted by a domain administrator, I think there must be an option to
run that installation as a privileged user during a non-privileged
user's login.
Any help/pointer would be greately appreciated.
Hüseyin.
