Domain users can not install published software thru GPO
Hello:
I have a Windows 2000 Server domain with Active Directory. All users are in the same OU. Is there a way where these domain users can install published software thru GPO? I want users to install only the software that I publish to them thru GPO. I can do this but only if I give them Administrator privileges but that‘s not what I want. I want them to have user’s privileges and allow them to install only the software that I publish to them using Group Policy. Any ideas? -- Thanks Troper |

Installing applications through GPO is a cool feature. But when it comes to
the app installing on the pc is where it gets a little confusing...Have you tried Assigning the application to each computer... this works similarly to assigning an app to a user. The main difference is that the assignment is linked to the pc rather than to the user, so it takes effect the next time that the computer is rebooted. Assigning an app to a computer also differs from user assignments in that the deployment process actually installs the app rather thatn just the app's icon. Hope this helps... -- The Saint MCP, MCDST "Troper" wrote: Hello: I have a Windows 2000 Server domain with Active Directory. All users are in the same OU.
