Hi list -
I experimented with getting software to install on W10 clients using a
GPO, and could not get it to work. Has anyone used this feature? Is it
even supposed to work under Samba? The instructions I cobbled together
from some googling below. Things like accessibility to the share/etc.
already tested.
-=- Automatically Deploy Software
- Create a share folder accessible by everyone in which to place .msi
files
- Create a Security Group for the computers which are to get this
install/update
- Change the Object Type to allow for computer objects
- Add computers to this group.
- GPO
Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Software Settings -> Software
Installation
Right click, New -> Package
- Add UNC path to package folder and select package to install.
Remove "Authenticated Users" from Security Filter and add the group
created above.
