Troubleshooting Software Deployment

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Deploying Java across a network was a little touch-and-go today. I had a point where Windows XP hung during the Installing Managed Software phase.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, I decided that the installation had failed. After removing the package from software deployment section of Group Policy, I rebooted the PC and ran the ‘Last Known Good Configuration’ startup option.

Thankfully, the next boot brought up the removing managed software dialog and Windows started normally.

Files Be Gone

Monday, September 13th, 2004

I noticed that some files were disappearing on one of the Servers the other day. A few people had noticed. And it finally happened to me. I was roaming through my ‘My Documents’ folder when I noticed that folders that shouldn’t be empty were.

Checking out the KnowledgeBase, I discovered that if your profile folder is the same as your home directory, then the server sometimes decides that the best thing to do is delete the files.

Although it turns out that if you use a subfolder in the home folder this resolves the problem.

I certainly hope so. I don’t think too many people will be impressed with files randomly disappearing…
