Re: Software Installation GPO

Hello Izu,

The whole GPO will be checked if there is any change, but that didn't take much time. And software will be only installed one time, except you change your package and configure it for reapplying.

Have a look here for the start up and logon:

When I assign a Software Installation policy with an MSI file, does
the GPO check to see if that software is already installed then not
install it again or does the policy install the program every time the
computer restarts? Also, if it checks to see if the program is
installed, does that take a long time? I can't remember how it
functions.

The reason I ask is because I don't want the computers taking a long
time to start due to the GPO so if I need to, I can use the GPO in a
staging OU, then take it out of that OU once it's deployed because I
didn't include the dropout option. Or are there other ways around
this?
