Systems Management

Guys.

I am really hoping someone can help me. I am trying to move from SMS software distribution to group policy. I am using Windows 2000 SP3 and it deploys fine through SMS with no issues at all.

Now when i try to set it up under software installation it is failing.

So , i try new package and choose my .msi no issues there. When i then go to the modifications tab and select my .mst i get the following message

An error occurred accessing the software installation data in the active directory. see the event log for additional details

If i then look in the event logs i have three errors

Event ID: 10005

Product: Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Standard -- Application can only be installed on a valid Withers LLP build.

Then i have
