Help with installing an app via Group Policy across many computers in the organization at one time
I am new to Active Directory and I have heard it is possible to install an app by running the executable via a batch file .
I need help completing the task .
I have written the batch file ,
I have a Group to hold the workstations we want to deploy to -
I have added the computers to be deployed to into the group
I need to Create a new Group Policy for this group of computers
Then Add a new Startup Script entry for this policy
- Then add the install.bat file to the Machine\Scripts\Startup folder at something like the following location:
C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\C
How can I do this ?
