I haven’t tried to do a network deployment of 3dsmax, but I frequently have to do network deployments of ACAD which has always worked fine. Odd that the same company can have errors with the network deployment functionality, but I do believe AStudio is right… I remember something about suggestions to use MS’s SMS or other network tools.
BUT, I too suspect it could be a permissions issue. When trying to install the network deployment on the local machine, are you logged in as an Admin on that system? Make sure all users who need access have access permission to that location… and read write modify permission to the local install drive as well.
You might also try setting up a group policy, adding the machine / users who would be affected, create a logon bat file that automatically starts the install process. Maybe that would work in your case, better than manually starting the installs.
Even if you use the DVD, you can specify if the install is a network license or a Standalone, it’s an option during the initial pages of the dialog.
