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)
www.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox...
Download Microsoft Teams msi package ( from entity; select 64 bit or 32 bit commercial):

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

@RobinHogg Год назад

Thanks a mil, is there anyway I can run the gpupdate /force command on all the machines in the domain when they login to the network?

@sibamarcel9428 2 года назад

12:28 Thank you for the great Video. But i thing i could do that again where you share you Folder. Olace of Authentified-Users you could put software-deployement directly.

@danielfitton2927 2 года назад

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

@brijeishalagh1256 Год назад

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 ?

@joeshaw9545 3 года назад

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?

@MoodyElTawil Год назад

Great question. I would think it won't matter if you apply the gpo to the computer configuration

How can I download MSI packages on my server which is domain controller? I have everything in Virtual Box. I don't have internet connection, because it is domain controller in internal network with another hosts

@ousmanealamakaba3135 2 года назад

you have to set virtual box network configuration to bridge and it will get internet

@MicroModDude 3 года назад

Can’t you force the deployment, especially if you have 100 pc’s in your group?

@shamaadlewis7014 3 года назад

No but the machines will all get it once they restart, it will update the group policy.

@FlyingFamily 3 года назад

Adding members in security group is easy for few machines but for larger deployment what u suggest? I want to install policies on all client machine except servers

@mikewilliams-rt5di 3 года назад

I would use a wmi filter all desktops etc

@JonHatfield 3 года назад

Your servers should be in separate OUs from the rest of your systems. Then you would apply the GPO to the appropriate OU.

@rakotondrasoahary5795 3 года назад

did you install the install the software from the Admin server or Domain control server? Does both works by using GPO?

@dawgalova 3 года назад

You can either install it remotely by connecting to the Windows Server that has Active Directory Domain Services installed on it by using RSAT, i.e. Active Directory Users and Computers. Where you do it from doesn't matter, as long as you connect to the server with AD DS on it with admin permissions.

@jg6111 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. Does it work without forcibly updating gp? In case I want to deploy software large number of clients, it is not practical to go around and do the command manually.

@TechnoConfig 3 года назад

You're welcome. You can do gpupdate remotely using GPMC or PowerShell cmdlet (Invoke-GPUpdate) Check more here: petri.com/force-remote-group-policy-update-gpmc

@FlyingFamily 3 года назад

No need to run gpupdate...when the client machine restart policy will be applied.

@JonHatfield 3 года назад

You can do a mass gpupdate from the GP Management console by right clicking on the OU. You'll need a few firewall rules enabled for it to work. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/grouppolicy/group-policy-in-windows-server-2012-using-remote-gpupdate Also, GP updates every 90 minutes, but if you want it immediately, you can force it.

It must to do in Computer Configuration? Can I set in User Configuration or not?

@TechnoConfig 3 года назад

Hi, There is difference between the two when applying GPO. 1. Computer config option in GPO apply to computers in network, regardless of who logs on (users) to the computers. 2. User config in GPO is applied to users, regardless of which computer they are using.
