Deploying SGE via Group Policy

Question

Hi All,

We are trying to deploy SGE via group policy and we cannot get it to work. We have tried assigning it to a user as well as a computer and no success. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Deployment type	Assigned
Deployment source	\\apps\Utimaco 6.0\Safeguard 6.0\Client Packages 6.0\Client installers x64\SGxClientPreinstall.msi
Installation user interface options	Maximum
Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management	Disabled

Hi smanuel,

The policy should be assigned to a computer, not a user. One thing I did notice though is that you have to enable the "Ignore language when deploying this package" option - the installers are in German! Don't worry though, the actual program still runs in English - it's just a bit confusing if you ever manually uninstall the product :smileyhappy:

Hopefully this should sort out the issue.

(Edit: I am, of course, assuming you're not in Germany. If you are, then this reply will be irrelevant!)
