Why can I never get a software push to work?

I am applying it on individual OUs VS the domain (I believe that is to risky, I'd rather it get rolled out to as few people as possible at one time). I do computer>Software installations>\\servername\filename.msi and I see when it boots up it is installing the app I send but when I log on the app is not there nor does it show in add/remove programs. What am I doing wrong?

Have a read at this Article thoroughly. It should help with deploying software. Your problem probably lies in the MSI file is not prepped properly.

Let us know the results.
