Services for Unix installation.

I am having problems installing SFU via Group Policy. I only want to
install NFS Client and User Mapping Service. So I have to use two
transforms: one provided by MS (SfuNoSNFSAuth.mst and a custom one I
created with Wise Install Editor). The reason I need to use two of them
is because Wise has a bug where it didn't capture the fact I don't want
NFS Server nor NFS Server Authentication. (I think it's because client
and server for NFS fall into the same selection branch as well as user
mapping and SNFS Authentication falling into the same branch, but that
is another story).

Anyhow, when I manually run "msiexec /i sfusetup.msi
TRANSFORMS="SfuNoSNFSAuth.mst;mycustom.mst" it will install everything
perfectly. However when I use the Group Policy, the installation is
finished, but when I try to open the MMC Administration for the
products, I get an error:

Title Bar: Microsoft Internet Explorer
Message: Exception occurred while executing the function: window_onload.

After that I am not able to configure NFS nor the User Mapping Service.
Services are running in Control Panel though. If I go into Add/Remove
Programs and choose Change, then Repair, the product is fine.

Any reason why it doesn't install properly via Group Policy but is fine
running msiexec manually?

Thanks,
Victor

Are the modifications added the particular package?

Victor, when you add the MSI package within the Group Policy. Do you add the modification files to the particular packages then, or do you just type the sfusetup.msi TRANSFORMS="SfuNoSNFSAuth.mst;mycustom.mst when you add the package ?

In the Group Policy, I right-click, choose New Package, and point to the
sfusetup.msi file.

At the next window, I go to the modifications tab, and then add the
sfunosnfsauth.mst tranform first, followed by my customized one. I have
also tried just adding one transform (sfunosnfsauth.mst) but that didn't
help either.

After adding the new package, I replicate the Domain Controllers and
reboot the target client computer. Upon reboot, I see the package
installing, but I just can't configure it after I log in.

When that didn't work, I uninstalled SFU completely, removed the package
from Group Policy, and rebooted. Once the computer was back up, I
logged in and manually executed the line "msiexec /i sfusetup.msi
TRANSFORMS="SfuNoSNFSAuth.mst;mycustom.mst" The program installs also
but this time I can go into the Admin web tool with no error.

a modification can only be applied at once. I'm also lost here
