RE: [ActiveDir] Event ID 108
I just tried to deploy the package by assigning it to a user who is an administrator of the test workstation and it deployed fine. However, this is undesirable since the users of the domain are not given administrative privileges on their workstations. I believe that when assigning it to the computers that all permissions are set correctly (E.G. – the computers group being used for deployment is assigned “Apply Group Policy” on the GPO, and the group has “read” share and NTFS permissions to the AIP for the package). Plus, usually when there is a permissions problem, the Event Log on the workstation will say something like “cannot find package” or something and that is not what it is saying. Do you think it is possible that the problem is the domain is in Windows 2000 Mixed mode and there are both w2k3 and w2k domain controllers?

something called a packageRegistration object, which should exist in AD under
