By On

 

Follow these steps:

  1. Create a Share Folder

    • Create a shared folder on your domain controller or any accessible server within the domain.

    • Copy the software (.msi) installer file to this shared folder.

  2. Prepare the Software Installation Package

    • Open the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc).

    • Navigate to the domain or organizational unit (OU) where you want to deploy the software.

    • Right-click and select "Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here."

    • Provide a descriptive name for the GPO and click "OK."

  3. Edit the Group Policy Object

    • Right-click on the newly created GPO and select "Edit."

    • Navigate to "Computer Configuration > Policies > Software Settings > Software Installation."

    • Right-click on "Software Installation" and select "New > Package."

  4. Assign the Software Package

    • In the "Open" dialog box, browse to the shared folder containing the .msi file.

    • Select the .msi file and click "Open."

    • In the "Deploy Software" window, select "Assigned" and click "OK."

  5. Configure the Software Deployment Properties (Optional)

    • Right-click on the newly added package and select "Properties."

    • In the "Properties" window, you can configure various options, such as:

      • Deployment type (e.g., Assigned or Published)

      • Installation user interface level (e.g., Maximum, Basic, or None)

      • Whether to uninstall the previous version or not

  6. Link the GPO

    • Close the Group Policy Management Editor.

    • In the Group Policy Management Console, right-click on the GPO and select "Link Enabled."

  7. Group Policy Update

    • You can wait for the Group Policy to refresh automatically on the client computers (default is every 90 minutes), or you can force a Group Policy update by running the command gpupdate /force on the client machines.

After following these steps, the software (.msi) will be deployed to the client computers that are part of the OU or domain where the GPO is linked.

Note: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create and edit GPOs in your domain environment. Additionally, consider testing the software deployment in a non-production environment before rolling it out to production machines.
