Is the Vista machine in the same OU? What does rsop.msc on the Vista
machine come up with?

Hi Florian,

Thanks for your reply,

the computer is in the same OU as XP PC, but when I run rsop.msc on the
vista PC

in the result windows I see that a read X is on the computer configuration,
what this means?

Thanks,

Shahin

When right- or double-clicking the red X, isn't there more information
available? In the eventlog, is there some message indicating an error
during software installation?

The only thing I can see is a red X on the computer configuration and I
cann't find no logged error.
