Deploying Software on Multiple Computers in a Domain using Microsoft Tools

Software Deployment Process using Microsoft Tools

Deploying software on multiple computers in a domain using Microsoft tools can be efficiently done by following these steps:

  1. Group Policy Software Installation: Utilize Group Policy Objects (GPO) in Active Directory to deploy software to multiple computers across the domain.
  2. MSI Package Creation: Create an MSI package for the software you want to deploy using a tool like the Microsoft Orca editor or a third-party software packaging tool.
  3. Distribute the Software Package: Store the software package on a network share accessible by all domain computers.
  4. Configure Group Policy: Create a new GPO or modify an existing one to assign the software package to the desired computer or user group.
  5. Link GPO to Domain: Link the GPO to the appropriate Organizational Unit (OU) in Active Directory where the target computers are located.
  6. Deploy the Software: Wait for Group Policy to refresh on the client computers or force a Group Policy update using the command 'gpupdate /force' on the client computers to trigger the software deployment.
  7. Monitor Software Deployment: Monitor the Software Installation Event Logs on client computers to ensure successful deployment.

This process allows for seamless deployment of software across multiple computers in a domain using Microsoft tools.
