Is there any application out there can do the work??? What I need is to deploy the application remotely and I will be able to keep track if the user or computer did install the app. Anyone can help??? Thanks.

I used the W2k3 group policy method to install a application upgrade on my network's computers. I have two questions: 1) How can I found out if the computer had get the upgrade installed without physically go to the machine to check???? 2) After I used the group policy, I found out that many user say they didn't get their network drives after they logon to the network. This didn't happen before the group policy applied. Thanks in advance for everybody's help.

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the suggestions, I will try and post the result. Thanks again.

Thanks to nmX.Memnoch and other members' help. nmX.Memnoch, I understand that there is a high security risk to add the users to the power users group. Is there any other way that I can do the simlier work?? What I want to do is - we have a application that need to be updated to a newer version and the update file needed to be downloaded from another company and run with admin right. I can logon to the local machine as admin and run the update but we have several hundred PCs!!! SMS is a good option but we don't update applications so often (maybe once a year) so we don't have plan to purchase it. Thanks for your help again and awaiting for your reply.

Thanks guys, The reason that I need to add the users onto the local computer is because I want the users be able to run the update of the program by themselves. Right now the domain users don't have the right to install programs. I want to do it at the simplest way, I don't want to go to each computer to add the user. Could anybody help on this?? If we can do it through GP, what are the steps??? Thanks again.

I'm a Domain Admin in the network, I want to add the "Domain\Users" into the "Power Users" group in the local computers. Is there any way I can add in on the server instead of going to each loacl machine??? Thanks.

Sanity1977, You will not get reply from the machine that has XP SP2 and the firewall is "ON". The Windows firewall blocked the ICMP Ping Echo function. In the Domain, if you want to share a folder, you need to set both "Share" and " Security" on that folder to allow access by the "Domain Users". Did you set that????

Hi, Did you tried to add the user into the 2003 "Buildin Group" named "Network Configuration Operator"???? Will this help????

Hi Cluberti, Many thanks for your information. I finally get it work in our network. The next problem is - how to deploy the group policy to the entire network's PCs??? Do you have any idea??? Thanks.

Thanks. But I want to use the function in "INTRANET" and NOT "INTERNET". Can you provide some information?????

Hi, Does anyone know how to setup and use the "Remote Assistance" feature in the "Intranet"??? I want to use it in our 2003 - WinXP network but don't know how. Thanks.

Thanks!!!!!

Hi all, I know there is some programs in the market that can display the server information on the destop. Could anybody tell me what is the name of the program??? Thanks!!!

Anybody else can help ????

Hi, Does anyone know how to restrict users from using the CD-R function??? I only need to block the "Burn" but not "Read". I'm using a Win2003 Domain but didn't see anything in the GPO would help. All the workstations are XPs. Thanks.
