Installing .net framework 3.5 via ADS GPO

Deploying .net framework 3.5 via group policy is not as easy as it should be.
No idea why microsoft did create packages which can't be used by microsoft products....

To get installable .msi packages you can do the following steps:

Deployment of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 x86 using Active Directory.

Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 must already be deployed.

1. Download dotnetfx35.exe from http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/0/f/60fc5854-3cb8-4892-b6db-bd4f42510f28/dotnetfx35.exe

2. Run dotnetfx35.exe /x to extract the files

3. Move wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetFX20 and wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetFX30 into the root, eg to D:\dotNetFX20 and D:\dotNetFX30

4. To create Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 admin install (a prerequisit) run
msiexec /a Netfx20a_x86.msi /update D:\dotNetFX20\ASPNET.msp;D:\dotNetFX20\clr.msp;D:\dotNetFX20\crt.msp;D:\dotNetFX20\dw.msp;D:\dotNetFX20\NetFX_CA.msp;D:\dotNetFX20\NetFX_Core.msp;D:\dotNetFX20\NetFX_Other.msp;D:\dotNetFX20\prexp.msp;D:\dotNetFX20\winforms.msp USING_EXUIH=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress /log D:\dotNetFX20\netfx20a_x86.txt TARGETDIR=D:\dotNetFX20admin
then copy D:\dotNetFX20\Netfx20a_x86.msi to D:\dotNetFX20admin and move D:\dotNetFX20admin to network share.

5. To create Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP2 admin install (a prerequisit) run
msiexec /a netfx30a_x86.msi /update D:\dotNetFX30\WCF.msp;D:\dotNetFX30\WCS.msp;D:\dotNetFX30\WF.msp;D:\dotNetFX30\WPF1.msp;D:\dotNetFX30\WPF2.msp;D:\dotNetFX30\WPF_Other.msp;D:\dotNetFX30\XPS.msp;D:\dotNetFX30\WF_32.msp;D:\dotNetFX30\WPF2_32.msp;D:\dotNetFX30\WPF_Other_32.msp USING_EXUIH=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress /log D:\dotNetFX30\netfx30a_x86.txt TARGETDIR=D:\dotNetFX30admin
then copy D:\dotNetFX30\Netfx30a_x86.msi to D:\dotNetFX30admin and move D:\dotNetFX30admin to network share.

6. To create Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 admin install run
wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetFX35\x86\netfx35_x86.exe /x and move vs_setup.msi and vs_setup.cab to network share.

7. Add Netfx20a_x86.msi, Netfx30a_x86.msi and vs_setup.msi in order to an Active Directory GPO.

An x64 version can also be created and deployed using this method.
