Показать описание
In this tutorial, I will demonstrate the steps needed to deploy/install windows software/applications (.msi packages) on remote client workstations using Group policy management from my Windows Server 2019 domain controller.

What is Group Policy? It is a feature of Windows Server using which admins can install software on all user computers. It can be done remotely without manual intervention. GPO is short for Group Policy. It becomes so popular among companies because it can make deployment clear and easy due to the technology of group policy. It has many benefits like:

1. Restrictions can be applied to install or removal of software for better security
2. Users outside the group cannot access the software without permission
3. Quick and remote way to deploy securely
4. Once a group is created, software can be delivered at ease

Steps/Setup:
A. Windows server 2019 domain controller ( download msi packages | Create shared folder | create security group in AD | create GPO in Group policy management).

B. MSI packages-Windows Installer: ( Firefox and Microsoft Teams).

C. Test the software deployment on Windows 10 client workstation.

Links:

Download Firefox msi package ( select "Advanced install options & other platforms" then click on windows 64 bit-for 64 bit systems)

Download Microsoft Teams msi package ( from entity; select 64 bit or 32 bit commercial):

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

Thanks for the detailed instructions. Can I deploy paid software - like an antivirus with a license key with this method? and can the app install without rebooting the pc ?

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

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?

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
