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.

install software through group policy
This is a video about how to install software through group policy. I install Firefox 3.0 through a MSI (Microsoft Installer Package) that is accessible through a local share. To do this it requires a GPO (group policy object) be applied on the domain (Server with active directory). 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. You can do this on Server 2008 domain controller and Windows 7, but it also available for 2003, 2000, XP, or Vista.

group policy modeling wizard
Group Policy Modeling Wizard is the “what if” of domain controllers. It lets you see what it would be like if you had this group, user, comput, OU all tied together. You can see what kind of group policy restrictions that they would have without having to change your group policy objects (GPO) to see it. It’s available on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and 2003 domain controllers (active directory). You may also run it from from your client (2000, xp, vista, 7) with remote server administration tools or Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack (adminpak.msi).
