Client logon installation 1

[Lordmathos]

Hi all I need to somehow install fonts to the client computers when users logon. I have tried creating an msi file and putting it in a group policy but it will not install on the clients computers as they do not have permissions to write to the windows folder.

Does anyone have a solution to my problem.

Cheers

Lordmathos,

Use a computer startup script that copies the files so the users won't need any permissions. You can use a GPO to do this.

if that doesnt work...toss in a runas?

tried adding a runas but it still needs you to manually type the password in

The .msi file you created should go in a GPO configured for the machine, not the user. When you configure it for machine, it gets it at startup, and uses the machine account permissions.

I have put the .msi package into the computer gpo now and fingers crossed it looks like its working.
