My XP computer does not accept software deployment using group policy on our domain. In the event viewer it will give the following errors.

Source: Application Management
Event ID 108
Failed to apply changes to software installation settings. Software changes could not be applied. A previous log entry with details should exist. The error was The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.

The removal of the assignment of application "Package Name" from policy "Policy Name" succeeded.

Event ID 102
The install of application "Package Name" from policy "Policy Name" failed. The error was The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.


This is what microsoft says about this...

CAUSE
The machine account for the workstation does not have permissions to the share or file system that holds the source files for the package. When a workstation runs Group Policy, it does so in the context of the machine system account for the workstation.
RESOLUTION
Confirm that the machine account for the workstation that is applying Group Policy has at least Read access to the source files for the package that is assigned with Group Policy. You can do this by assigning permissions directly to the machine accounts, or by assigning permissions to a Security group, such as the Domain Computers or Authenticated Users group that contains the machine account.

I made sure the computer account had specific rights to the shared directory, and the GPO. Everytime I reset the computer, this is what I get.

Any thoughts?
 
Ok, I just found out that is is on all computers in one of my domains. All other domains are fine.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks...
