Software Publishing of GPO--user intevention

We understand that you can only assign a Software Package to computer. You can assign or publish a software package to users. That is right.

However, if the Software itself needs the user interaction, you can only publish the software to users. I tried to assign the Firefox Firefox-2.0.0.7-en-US.msi package to computers. The software will not apply to the workstations. In the Resultant Set of Policy window, there is an exclamation sign beside the Software publishing category. Similar error occurs when the software package is assigned to users.

Try to publish Microsoft Office 2003 Data.MSI with ASSIGN option; it would install to client computers. Office installation needs the product key and clicking on Next button unless you create an unattended file ( I did not create one).

With user interactive requirement, the package is successfully published to users.
