i wondering if using server 2008, , upgrading directory replication dfsr resolve problem.  find odd have had problem, , when more single system accessing msi in sysvol directory.  have other software installing via msi/gpo sysvol works without issue when deploying on more 1 system.

hello,

 

please note not problem in windows system.

 

yes, happens in windows server 2008 dfsr because shi1005_flags_restrict_exclusive_opens attribute on folder necessary replication no matter replication service used. on windows server 2008, attribute shi1005_flags_restrict_exclusive_opens set on sysvol share. feature insures effective synchronization of sysvol folder between domain controllers. true not msi installation package in sysvol folder encounter issue because not msi packages attempt lock them deny reads to.

 

it recommended manually create dfs share distribute installation packages.
