I followed the instructions on setting up a distribution share and then created an test OU and applied a computer policy to deploy the service pack. I added a PC to the OU and then proceeded to reboot the PC, upon reboot the GP looks like it is being applied and it says it is installing the SP but then it just goes to the login screen. I can't figure out what the issue is. Can anyone help?
 
If you right-click "My Computer" and hit "Properties" does the first screen show SP4?
 
Yes I right clicked My computer and it still shows it with SP3, I have no idea why it won't update.
 
I have just started rolling out SP4 via GP.
Check the folder which the extracted sp4 files are.
Make sure it is shared out and the NTFS permission for domain users and domain computers is set the read/write/execute.
