Windows 7 with Group Policy can't install drivers
Having a problem with Group Policy on a domain with Windows 7. Our DC is running server 2003 and whenever our windows 7 machines get group policy we are not able to install any drivers. We are set up as local administrators and i've dug through the GPO and haven't figured out whats causing the problem. Get access is denied error whenever we're installing a driver. Works fine if we take it out of policy.

Hi, If this issue occurred with all of the Windows 7 client when applying the domain group policy, it is suggested to ask this question in Windows Server forum for further discussion. The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
