Hi,

I have a GPO that forces a startup script, in which I always modify the batch file to be run for unattended installs. I just installed Microsoft patches so far, and it was working great, however, now that I wanted to install some other than Microsoft products, I stumbled upon a problem.

The network share is on a Remote Server, so that all stations can access it. They have Read and Execute access, so it is fine. I can also install it manually, but there is a pop-up warning, weather you really want to run the .exe or .msi package or not, as its from an untrusted publisher. I recently am trying to install Adobe Reader and Winzip, and here are the commands found in my batch file:

Code:
@echo off

Echo Installing Adobe Reader 8.1.1
IF EXIST "\\SERVERNAME\r-drive\Installs\AdobeReader\Report\%computername%.txt" GOTO ADOBE-END
"\\SERVERNAME\r-drive\Installs\AdobeReader\AcroRead.msi" /quiet /passive /qn /norestart
echo Done on %computername% > "\\SERVERNAME\r-drive\Installs\AdobeReader\Report\%computername%.txt"
:ADOBE-END

Echo Installing WinZip 11
IF EXIST "\\SERVERNAME\r-drive\Installs\Winzip11\Report\%computername%.txt" GOTO WINZIP-END
"\\SERVERNAME\r-drive\Installs\Winzip11\WINZIP32.MSI" /quiet /passive /qn /norestart
echo Done on %computername% > "\\SERVERNAME\r-drive\Installs\Winzip11\Report\%computername%.txt"
:WINZIP-END

It refuses to install anything. If I am logged on, and manually run the script, it will pop the warning up, and will only proceed if I press the RUN button.

Any hints would be appreciated in order to eliminate the Warning, and just go on with the install.

Thanks

Ben
