I'm attempting to deploy Flash using Group Policy and seem to be having some epic failures. I've followed a guide that was on the forums for a script to unisntall old versions, and that seems to work fine. I follow the script with a GPO with the flash msi. I applied the polices on a test machine and there were no issues.
HOWEVER, in the wild, it's not working out. I'm coming accross machines that do no have flash isntalled at all. When I run a gpupdate /force, it doest not prompt for a software installation. When I reboot, I don't get the "Please Wait" while it installs. When I run a GPRESULT, the PC does have the GPO with the software install applied. The only way I've found to get the issue to resolve itself is to move the computer to a workgroup, and then rejoin it to the domain. After the first log in, all the software is applied as expected.
Has anybody else seen this behavior? Am I missing something?
