[@deizalnuncio]

Bro...you are a life saver...I have interview..I know I will have to explain this.

[@MoodyElTawil]

I followed the directions and it worked beautifully. Thank you!

[@MoodyElTawil]

Super helpful; very detailed. Thank you very much. 'Will update once I apply IRL

[@chulaninalaka5745]

Superb explanation. Thank you very much

[@Chilledoutredhead]

great video, I got stuck as i had shared the folder over the network, but instead of going to the network folder, i pointed to the local folder. lol

[@RobinHogg]

Thanks a mil, is there anyway I can run the gpupdate /force command on all the machines in the domain when they login to the network?

[@joeshaw9545]

Does this method of deployment work for target PCs that have UAC local policies enabled? Or does the security group used take care of elevated privileges requirements for software installs?

[@MoodyElTawil]

Great question. I would think it won't matter if you apply the gpo to the computer configuration

[@krisellemarantan316]

[@zacharykenyon7842]

Is this possible to filter to users ran than workstations?

[@danielfitton2927]

I got this working ONCE. So I wanted to show others how it worked so I uninstalled FireFox (copied the example), did a gpupdate but when the machine restarted, the software was not installed. Tried it on another machine joined to the same domain on the same network. When I view the test users event log it says "New settings from 0 group policy objects were detected and applied". Please help it was working and I haven't touched it

[@abetuna2707]

[@mikewilliams-rt5di]

When reference computers or security group that contain computers, don't you have to apply domain computers with read access in delegation tab?

How to deploy using user configuration ?

[@dungle7120]

When i created and run GPO completed but i check in errors event view as: Software Installation was unable to read the MSI file . The following error was encountered: SQL query syntax invalid or unsupported.

[@ajac009]

how do you install an MSI via GPO that needs a proxy to go through?

[@MicroModDude]

Can’t you force the deployment, especially if you have 100 pc’s in your group?

[@shamaadlewis7014]

No but the machines will all get it once they restart, it will update the group policy.

[@FlyingFamily]

Adding members in security group is easy for few machines but for larger deployment what u suggest? I want to install policies on all client machine except servers

[@mikewilliams-rt5di]

I would use a wmi filter all desktops etc

[@JonHatfield]

Your servers should be in separate OUs from the rest of your systems. Then you would apply the GPO to the appropriate OU.

[@ezonity]

Is it able to install with users with limited access?

[@พี่หลวงคนเดิม-ษ1ง]

how to deploy license key of software by gpo to client ?

[@rakotondrasoahary5795]

did you install the install the software from the Admin server or Domain control server? Does both works by using GPO?

[@dawgalova]

You can either install it remotely by connecting to the Windows Server that has Active Directory Domain Services installed on it by using RSAT, i.e. Active Directory Users and Computers. Where you do it from doesn't matter, as long as you connect to the server with AD DS on it with admin permissions.

[@noahfahem9450]

sir can you explain this option please : "auto-install this application by file extension activation " thnx in advance❤

[@jg6111]

Thanks for the video. Does it work without forcibly updating gp? In case I want to deploy software large number of clients, it is not practical to go around and do the command manually.

[@TechnoConfig]

You're welcome. You can do gpupdate remotely using GPMC or PowerShell cmdlet (Invoke-GPUpdate) Check more here: petri.com/force-remote-group-policy-update-gpmc

[@FlyingFamily]

No need to run gpupdate...when the client machine restart policy will be applied.

[@JonHatfield]

You can do a mass gpupdate from the GP Management console by right clicking on the OU. You'll need a few firewall rules enabled for it to work. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/grouppolicy/group-policy-in-windows-server-2012-using-remote-gpupdate Also, GP updates every 90 minutes, but if you want it immediately, you can force it.

Can I make Microsoft office 2016 to msi file

[@shadownirvana5044]

It must to do in Computer Configuration? Can I set in User Configuration or not?

[@TechnoConfig]

Hi, There is difference between the two when applying GPO. 1. Computer config option in GPO apply to computers in network, regardless of who logs on (users) to the computers. 2. User config in GPO is applied to users, regardless of which computer they are using.

[@gilbertomendoza8343]

Well done

What's the benefit of GPO over PDQ Deploy?

[@RupMan84]

$$$, GPO is built into Microsoft, where you have to pay for PDQ.

[@barscelebi9102]

You cannot give any other examples in Firefox because no other msi file works.

[@ibtissembourai2277]

Thank you

[@ElBlancoBoss]

does this work over vpn?

[@JonHatfield]

Depends on the type of VPN and the bandwidth/latency of the connection. The VPN must also already be established BEFORE the computer logs on.
