Installing Software Using GPO

[@markryandevera8392]

Thank you so much mrholverson. This tutorial really help me. Hope you'll make more tutorials in Active directory.

[@Gurttastic]

Really informative guide! Helped me a lot with my struggles, I got stuck at the network pathing, and didn't really understand why it wouldn't browse my MSI-files.

[@nickbrights9436]

Excellent video and very nicely explained for new commers to IT

[@runiracer101]

You might have saved me for my final exam, thank you so so so much!

[@ozcanyildiz6515]

Thank you very much for your effort on this. Its a really great video. Well explained.

[@jasondahl7702]

yes the gpupdate command simply allows you to check if the gpo was applied without having to go through the logoff and logon.

[@CrisVinluan]

Good video. The "gpresult /r" command tells you a lot!

[@aceapostol]

Very useful and informative video tutorial

[@raybarber]

Fantastic tutorial, it's starting to make sense.. Thanks.

[@silverian]

Thanks for great explanation!

[@josephespino2628]

Thanks for the quick tutorial!

[@aksharderi]

very easy to understand. thanks for sharing.

[@cprelude]

Many thanks. Really helpful and informative.

[@doublechronox]

good video sir. I had to laugh when you stressed about using the FQDN because everytime I forget to I hear your voice hounding us in class

[@phuhuynh2569]

Thank you. It's very helpful for me! Thank you again!

[@Shivian124]

Thanks for the post. You can install 32-bit MSIs on 64-bit Windows but not vice versa so deploying the 64-bit MSI via Group Policy would fail on 32-bit machines.

[@brianducharme3418]

Excellent Tutorial - thank you

[@rendanin8329]

Thanks very much for this, very good tutorial indeed

[@Juan-ju1nj]

you're goated; works with win server 2016 std and win10 build 21h1 workstations.

[@keithmarx3558]

After searching and searching, all the answers are here. THANKS!!

[@MrLemyth]

hi ! excellent tuto ! what about deploying software to windows xp ? do you have an idea ?

[@infographyst]

Awesome video ! Thanks

[@hipmatt]

Thanks from the future!

[@hangc10]

thanks for the useful info. Subscribed. One question - What happen if you have office users that have both 32 and 64 bit? How was you apply this method so that it detects rather which pc is 64/32 to install the right msi package?

[@mushtaquenizamani]

Excellent video. Got a questions: is there any way by which we can specify command line switch to MSI in GPO?

[@h4xb0t]

Great Video!! Thank you

[@AppleiOSGenius]

Hello is it only possible via msi, no way for exe software im using is a photo software for school education and running 2012 r2 in which should be the same process.

[@Vim-Wolf]

Nice video. Will the UAC changes affect local users on the PC? Will it still prompt them correctly when they try to install software locally on their machines?

[@akanksharathod]

User configuration MSI push for selected group of users.. can u please make vdo for it

[@thearysok4964]

How about Installing Software Using GPO in windows server 2003 R2??

[@sophonbin2914]

Nice mum, your company use it right?

[@thearysok4964]

no, m just learning :) but don know how to do with server 2003R2 :(

[@double-you5130]

same thing

[@juanlyon3368]

please can you explain how i can schedule time when the deployment should start ? thanks a lot

[@Bullittphotography]

How does the system behave when/if the software is already installed? ignore or re-install every time????

[@rsaran3]

Excellent, thank you!

[@taoufikelka6660]

how about make the user chose witch software to install from a list ?

[@ds19dsfn]

very useful.... Thanks,

[@elotropotosino]

Awesome video! I do have one question though: is it s necessity to run the gpupdate /force command? Or will that be done on a user reboot? I'm curious since it would be easier if the workstation would run a group policy update on its own rather than instructing users to do the command. Thanks!

[@BTBBiteTheBullet]

reboot will do the job just fine.

[@BTBBiteTheBullet]

GP applies on login.

[@robertbrown9219]

I think Group Policy is a poor choice here: - Group Policy does not provide any feedback - was installation successfull or not - Grou Policy requires that all computers should belong to an Active Directory domain - There are a lot of issues with applying Grou Policy via VPN - Group Policy would not work if computers are not on your local netowork (e.g. remote laptops). There are plenty of products on the market, but make sure you are chosing a cloud-based product. If you do not, you most likely will be able to install software only on the computers connected to your local network (and what about remote laptops or remote employees in this case?). Few options I would recommend: 1. action1.com - they have free edition and provide pretty good endpoint configuration reporting in addition to software deployment functionality. 2. pdq.com - they provide a lot of features in regards to software deployment, but they are not cloud (you need to run them on your servers in your local network), the user interface seems little bit overloaded. 3. quest.com - Desktop Autority Management Suite is pretty solid and it is on the market for many-many years - I would name them an established leader, but might be too costly.

[@imsun8812]

Excellent. Thanks a whole lot.

[@ArmoredSecurity41]

Do you know if we delete the disable UAC if it restores the default UAC we had before?

[@mrpearce1979]

I don't believe this does as the setting would have been changed on the local PC. You will need a new GPO to enable the UAC again.

[@JoelLaguna]

Great video, thank you.

[@davidhale7035]

tops. Thanks for the effort.

[@KycasCat]

what about non msi instals like .exe?

[@mrpearce1979]

IT is MSI only (Server 2008)

[@Ghostringful]

ok, but he install this programm on PC, so it must be .msi ? is not enough exe?

[@badr0100]

You can do it with a log on script

[@samuelreyes7467]

Jakub Kowalczyk This is for servers, not for clients. The extension.exe is for clients, .msi is for servers. This is used when you want to instal one program to many computer connected to a server.

[@likearollinstone85]

Could you combine both GPO (for uac and deployment) or does that break something?

[@AllenWalker1001]

likearollinstone85 maybe, he has done that way to make things faster for another another software installation, otherwise you've to select these options every time on a new software. (Sorry for my english)

[@muddasirislam]

Great Video

[@shivapatil3577]

Knowledgeable Video..

[@kristianllgaard5527]

instead of going into the command prompt and run the gpupdate, would'nt it be enough to just restart the PC and login?

[@brady1712]

Yes, GP applies on logon.

[@kubacernycz]

Is it working also on DC 2003 with Windows 8 station? Thank you.

[@pilovali]

Why do you use Windows 7 N?

[@rodneypeters343]

great one.. thanks

[@ikemaster]

Very nice!! thanks

[@djphilter]

How can I do this with .exe files?

[@xforney]

Good teachings

[@alex999931]

Good video thanks.

[@hangc10]

unless you use gpo to create a policy to map \\yourserver\software to E: drive to all computers then it'll work. Otherwises, it won't work.

[@sadhusireesh5404]

Adds are shoing neetly but tutorials has no clarity pls help on that

[@mrholverson]

I want to distribute a program over GPO I need to create a MSt file the MSI file has a proberty of Certificatetype 0. 0 = selfsign. But I have a locales certificate and a password. I give the parameters certificatetype 1 and CERTIFICATEPATH C:\xxx\xxx\cert-pfx and CERTIFICATEPASSWORD xxxxxxx in Orca. But the Programm is not installed

[@SkyDragonVX]

What happen if some of my computers are in x84?

[@amullins433]

seems like alot of work now... Ninite pro fixes all these problems for me without having to even creat gpos

[@mrholverson]

Adam, GPOs will help deploy any sort of MSI package from any software, you can even create your own to thousands of PCs without you need to visit each one. Another benefit is you do not have to PAY for GPO, as they are included in your Microsoft server OS.

[@assada]

Ninite is great for managing standard items like Adobe Reader, Java, Flash etc. but it won't let you deploy MS Office or any of the other major program suites.

[@double-you5130]

LOL "Everyone" is the only setting you need in Share Permissions... once you have that on FULL CONTROL... Otherwise specify the others that you have put in place. the EVERYONE overrides every other setting you have placed there... you either have everyone of full or specify as you have with that other groups you cant have both as the setting for everyone over rides everything...

thumbs up!

[@Toasticuss]

2% of applications have an MSI, go try deploying a piece of software with an exe.

[@mauricetorres1479]
