update software through group policy
This is a video about how to update software through group policy. In the last video, I installed Firefox 3.0, in this video I upgrade to Firefox 3.5. I use a a Microsoft installer (MSI) package and a GPO (group policy object) in an active directory domain (requires domain controller) to do this. This operation may be performed on Server 2000, 2003, or 2008 and client operating systems of Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or 7. You may assign the program to specific users or computers so that it will be installed. You can also publish the software so that the user may decide to install the software.

restricted groups: Managing local group membership with a GPO
Restricted groups are a little known option in an Active Directory Domain. They control local group membership on your active directory clients. In this video, I add a domain group to a local group without going to each and every local machine using group policy. This allows me to create membership for a specific group of people to a specific group on a specific group of computers. It’s a great situation where I can make local admins or backup operators on a regional sect of computers. This feature is available onactive directory domains running Microsoft windows Server 2000, 2003, 2008. The client operating systems may include 2000, XP, Vista or 7.
