groupwise automatic upgrade re-ocurring prompting

[a228380]

we have upgraded to groupwise 6.5, we have three post offices. The users in one post office will randomly get prompted that there is a new version. Eventhough they have been upgraded. We checked the registry key version and the version of the client is accurate.

we ensured the poa version, and the client version are the same. We use ghost images and we only see this with our users in our post office for our GMT post office. Our EST and PST post office users do not encounter this problem.

The only difference I can see is the GMT users do not map a drive to the distribution software directory. Where all other users do. I recognize it checks the software distribution directory dates against the client, but if the software distribution directory is not available then it is supposed to check the date on the poa directory on the mail server itself.

any suggestions?

Sorry for the delay in answering this question. I've been very busy at work lately. In case you haven't figured this one out yet:

If you want to disable the update notification for everyone, in the software distribution directory locate the "client" folder. In that folder, you will see a file called "software.inf". Open the file using a text editor and add "REM " in front of the line that starts with "BuildNumber". Example:

[General]
BuildNumber=2519

Becomes

[General]
REM BuildNumber=2519

This will disable the auto-update for anyone who is assigned to that software distribution directory. If you have multiple directories, you'll need to do this in each directory.

Hope that helps.
