Hi,
I think you are after an admin install, and potentially use of
the AdminProperties property.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367541(VS.85).aspx and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816102
If you already have a public property for your server name you can put
this in the AdminProperties property which will apply this stored value
from the UI or command line to the admin install on the network. You can
then use this admin install as a distribution point in GPO.
The process is slightly different to what you specified but it is how
its normally done.

Subject: [WiX-users] client setup
Good day to all Wix Users.
I'm running across rather popular situation (on my mind), though cannot
get simple solution.
My product has both server and client. Then I install client I should
know server IP/DNS name. So, when I create client installer I'd like to
have a property with server's IP/DNS name inside. Currently I have a
solution, that uses command line parameter, but it is not enough,
because I would like my client to be installed trough Active Directory
Group Policy (GPO). GPO expects msi file without any command line
parameters.
It will be nice to have client installer that:
1. has administrative mode, which takes server's IP/DNS name
interactively through UI-dialogs and stores this value inside this MSI.
This MSI will be uploaded on GPO server.
2. during normal installation process (through GPO or manual
setup), installer should use server's IP/DNS setting from the property,
stored inside that MSI file.
Thanks!
