Network install using Group Policy

Hello, I hope everyone had a nice holiday season.

I have created network deployments for Land Desktop 2004 (with express
tools), Civil 2004, Survey 2004 & Raster Design 2004 and they installed fine
when I installed them manually. Once I set up group policy to apply the
network deployment to a test workstation everything worked fine except that
the express tools didn't install with the Land Desktop deployment. Does
anyone have any idea why the express tools wouldn't have installed? Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Pete

 

you are sure the expresstools line is being executed?

 

No, I guess I don't know for sure that line is being executed. How do I
tell for sure that it is executing properly? I did select the proper .mst
file so I just assumed that it should install them just as it did when I
rean the deployment manually.

Pete, this is a known issue. Check out the following document which is
posted on the Autodesk support knowledgebase
http://support.autodesk.com/getDoc.asp?id=TS80219

 

Thanks Jerry, I did a search of the knowledgebase but came up with nothing.
Not sure why this didn't come up. But even without seeing that article,
that is exactally what I ended up doing to get it to work.

This link is no longer valid... Is there another?

 

when you create the installer using autodesks network installer it outputs a
simple depoly.exe that you feed the profile to from the deploy.ini. Read the
deploy.ini to make sure your gpo is kicking all the products out via that.
