The software deployment status reports that myclients need software ("computer needs software" -yellow warning), but when I open the report all packages that I deployed were successfullyinstalled. I have waited a few weeks to se if the statuschanges, butit doesn't. I would appreciate any ideas what couold have caused this and how to solve it.

Hello,Did you deployany software package for uninstall? If yes, delete the package andthe clients will show normal status.This is known issue of SCE 2007.Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT

Hi Yogsorry, I did not see that you posted a possible solution. Yes I did deploy uninstall packages. I will do as recommended and post an update next week.Thanks

I removed the approval for uninstall of all relevantpackages, and now the software update status is OK!Thank you for sharing this tip. Now I am able to monitor software deploymenta lot easier.

Thanks again. Yes, I do have another question. I deploy Office 2007 using SCE2007 to a dynamic group of clients. When a new client is added to the group which hasOffice 2007 installed allready,the package isdownloaded anyway but fails to install (repeatedly).Shouldn't SCE detect that the software is installed allready?

Hello sewellia,Glad to see you again. However, as the new report issue you mentioned is different from the one discussed in this current thread, we'd recommend that you start up a new thread for it. We generally focus on one topic in one thread because in this way it will be better for other community members to participate in the discussion, and to search/find specific answers more efficiently in the future.Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT
