Post subject: Software Installation GPO Log? Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>win2000>group_policy (more info?)
Rather than checking each machine's event viewer one by one to see if
software installation has succeeded, is still pending for the next
time the machine is rebooted or has failed, is there a central place
where you can see the status of software installation deployed via
GPO?

No, there's no central log file you could use. This whole reporting
scenario of "how would I know, a GP is applied successfully on all
machines" isn't really supported to date.

Lack of interest in that capability? Is there something like that was
added in Server 2008?
If you deploy software with SMS or System Center instead of using
GPOs, do you then get central logs and reporting on software
installattions?
