IE8 package only installing at user login

[smay@aaaohio.com]

Hey guys. I've been lurking around here for awhile. I'm a SCCM newbie. Thanks for the great info.

 

Here's my issue. I'm trying to get software distribution working in our environment. I'm attempting to deploy a flat IE8 package created through the IEAK. It seemed to work just fine on a couple test clients I have setup, so I decided to test the deployment to one of our training rooms. (About 15 workstations). I setup my package and advertisement just how it was in the Service Pack deployment guide I found here.

 

When I came in this morning, the report said that everything was successful. Each client was showing "Succeeded Program completed with success". When I went over to the lab and logged in with a test user account, IE7 was still installed. I logged onto the machines as myself and then the installation started running, completed successfully, and rebooted the computer. This only seems to run when I log in with my user account. I do have the program options set to "Run with administrative rights" and to run whether or not a user is logged in.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Steve

Okay, I've been testing this deployment all day and I've noticed a few things. On two of my test machines, the package deploys without any problems. I've been testing just one workstation in our training lab and SCCM shows that the package was successful. I've looked through some of the logs on the client and I can't find any failures at all. Even in the event viewer I get a message about Internet Explorer installing successfully. But as soon as I log into the machine and open IE, I find out that it is still IE7. Not really sure where to go from here.

 

Thanks,
