Windows Server 2008 R2 Software Deployment on Active Directory - Schema Issue
- by weedave
We have two servers, one running Windows Server 2003 SP2 and one running Windows Server 2008 R2. Both servers have their own versions of Group Policy Management (1.0.2 on 2003 and 6.0.0.1 on 2008).
We are wanting to migrate everything over to the newer 2008 server, including software deployment. However, when I try to add a new software package using a .msi file, I get the following error:
"The schema for the software installation data in the Active Directory does not match the required schema."
I have tried two separate software packages and get the same error on the 2008 server. However, when I do the same on the 2003 server, it adds the software package without any problems.
The .msi files I am using are up-to-date - one is the most recent version of Google Chrome.
Is this problem caused by the different versions of the OS, or the Group Policy Management program? How do we "upgrade" our Active Directory to allow software deployment on the 2008 server?
Thanks.
