GPO's partially work

[Guest]

I've created 4 GPO's - each of which installs a different version of
eDrawings. The last of the 4 GPO's is supposed to install eDrawings 2007 and
uninstall the other 3 versions (2004, 2005, 2006) - in which the only thing
it does do is install 2007 and does not remove 2004, 2005 or 2006.

I'm stumped on what to do to get this to work. I've edited the 2007 GPO to
include the 3 GPO's of the other 3 versions of eDrawings - it just seems to
ignore that portion of the GPO for whatever reason.

Anyone have any idea on how to get this to work?

Regards,

Mike

How did you order the Policies in which you install the software? Try
ordering them with the 2007-version of your application at the top, as
the policies get applied from "buttom up" with the first item in the
list as the last to process.

Florian,

I tried that - no luck. When I created the last GPO for the 2007 software,
i removed the other 3 GPO's for the older software from the OU affected. So
right now there's only 2 GPO's in that OU. One of which is for the 2007
software, the other is unrelated.

Does the eventlog come up with a message indicating that there went
something wrong?
