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:
- Group Policy Software Installation: Utilize Group Policy Objects (GPO) in Active Directory to deploy software to multiple computers across the domain.
- 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.
- Distribute the Software Package: Store the software package on a network share accessible by all domain computers.
- Configure Group Policy: Create a new GPO or modify an existing one to assign the software package to the desired computer or user group.
- Link GPO to Domain: Link the GPO to the appropriate Organizational Unit (OU) in Active Directory where the target computers are located.
- 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.
- 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.
