Re: Software Deployment using GPO

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Thomas,

It took me a couple of days to FINALLY get it working, but I will try to
recap all the steps I took:

- Created the administrative share (using the msiexec /a)
- Assigned the msi file to the computer objects, using GPO and OU
- Modified the ini file to include Name, Company, and Serial Number
- In GPMC I added the Computer Object in the Advanced->Security tab for the
GPO link
- Linked the GPO to the OU in GPMC
- Ran a gpupdate /force on the WS

Hope this helps!
