| Description | Failed to apply changes to software installation settings. Software changes could not be applied. A previous log entry with details should exist. The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it. |
| Event Information | When Group Policy is configured to assign a software installation package to client computers, the administrator must specify a share path that hosts the software installation files. If the specified share is located on a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 file server, the software installation policy may not be successfully applied, and the following errors may be logged on the client computers for which installation was assigned: CAUSE: When programs are assigned to a computer, the computer tries to access the software installation share by using the credentials of the computer account. Microsoft Windows XP-based and Windows Server-based computers require Kerberos authentication. Windows NT 4.0 is not Kerberos-aware and can provide only NTLM authentication. Therefore, authentication is unsuccessful. RESOLUTION: To resolve this issue, host software installation shares on Windows 2000 Server-based or Windows Server 2003-based computers. RESOLUTION 2: In Appmgmt.log you may see a name, a policy GUID of the policy with the problem, and information about whether it was a User or Computer policy.To resolve an incorrectly-logged event, delete the policy for which the event is being logged, and then re-create a new policy. If you must keep the policy, you should complete the following steps. First, determine whether or not there is still a program configured for either the Computer or User part of the policy which you may want to keep. You must make different changes later if you want to keep the policy extension for the other piece of the policy. To remove the information about the policy extension: 1. At a command prompt, and export the Active Directory object information for the policy to a LDIFDE file. To do so, use the ldifde -f policy.ldif -d cn=policy GUID from above,cn=Policies,cn=System,dc=domain name command. 2. Modify the Policy.ldif file so that the entry for the Application Deployment Group Policy extension is remove |
