Unable to deploy SEP 12 via GPO without NTP component

We am trying to deploy SEP 12.1.4 via GPO without the NTP component, but it seems to be installed every single time.  At first, I thought the Applicaton Control or Device Control had NTP as a dependency, so I removed it as a feature, but NTP is still being installed.

GPO has been configured as described http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO55429 .  The package is supposed to install silently, removing any previous settings/configurations, then reboot without a prompt.  On the surface, the installation behaves as I would expect, but for some reason NTP is still being installed.  Like Application/Device Control, we do not want this feature installed.

If I pack as a single .exe and manually run it as an admin on the workstation, SEP is installed with the correct features and no reboot is required.  It is interesting that we are having issues with the unpacked installation.
