Re: Installing programs as domain user

Hi Ace

My fault
When looked at user accounts, I added the local user acc to P.Users not the
domain user.
So, I added the domain user.
Now the program works.
Sorry about the mix up.

Do I use .msi / .zap to run .exe (programs) for the domain users through
GPO, if so, how do I convert .exe to msi (or do I?)
Just so that d.users do not have the ability to install extra programs
There has to be an easy way to distribute programs, and I have to get to the
bottom of this.
If you can advise/articles, thanks, and thanks for your help.
Sorry if I was a bit tedious to assist

Thanks again
Best regards
