1 00:00:03,030 --> 00:00:03,810 Okay. 2 00:00:04,650 --> 00:00:11,460 Now I'm on my server system or I have my Active Directory installed and my group policy objects and 3 00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:17,040 I'm just going to kind of spin through the kind of basics around software deployment, software installation. 4 00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:21,780 I've created a new GPO called Software Installation Policy. 5 00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:27,640 So I'm going to go ahead and bring up the editor on this and just kind of show you how to get to the 6 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,200 software installation stuff. 7 00:00:30,170 --> 00:00:34,730 So if you're going to be deploying per computer, then you'll go to the software installation node, 8 00:00:34,730 --> 00:00:36,740 right click and choose new package. 9 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,970 And you'll be able to deploy up her computer assigned package if I go under user configuration. 10 00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:45,250 Similar scenario. 11 00:00:46,090 --> 00:00:52,630 I can go to software settings and software installation under user configuration, new package, and 12 00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:57,040 I'll have the ability to choose a package that I want to install and have options on installing it, 13 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,420 which I'll show you in a little bit. 14 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,240 One thing I do want to mention in this demo is that there's some capabilities around the defaults that 15 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,230 you see when you're deploying a new package that you can set from within this UI. 16 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,110 And it's not altogether obvious. 17 00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:13,840 A lot of people often miss it. 18 00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:21,400 If I right click the software installation node and say Properties, what you'll see if I get my properties 19 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,630 dialog back is you can set a default package location. 20 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,170 In other words, if you have a server share out there where you want all your packages to reside, you 21 00:01:29,170 --> 00:01:33,880 can set that and it will automatically browse to that when you're publishing or assigning a new package. 22 00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:39,850 You can also ask it to prompt you for which of these you want to, by default, publish, assign or 23 00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:40,450 advanced. 24 00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:47,590 And in advanced it just gives you the ability to set all of the options instead of automatically just 25 00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:50,410 publishing or assigning without any additional options. 26 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,340 You can go ahead and click advanced and you'll get into the advanced option. 27 00:01:55,170 --> 00:01:57,450 And you can set the user interface options. 28 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,540 And I'll talk a lot about what this means in a little bit, but this essentially controls how verbose 29 00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:05,490 the installation appears to the user. 30 00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:11,180 If I click on to the advanced area here, you'll see I have a number of advanced options that I can 31 00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:17,520 set, including the uninstall applications when they fall out of scope, including only information. 32 00:02:17,540 --> 00:02:23,540 This is really old stuff related to com systems or com applications and fairly rarely used these days. 33 00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:32,180 And then the behavior of 32 bit applications on 64 bit platforms so that those are options. 34 00:02:33,050 --> 00:02:37,730 Again, what you're doing here is you're just setting the defaults for these values when you publish 35 00:02:37,730 --> 00:02:39,410 a new or assign a new package. 36 00:02:40,350 --> 00:02:41,700 File installations. 37 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,170 This one's kind of interesting. 38 00:02:44,190 --> 00:02:46,740 Remember I mentioned install on first use? 39 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:48,960 Well, what I can do. 40 00:02:48,990 --> 00:02:53,220 Let's say hypothetically, I have two applications that handle PDF files. 41 00:02:54,130 --> 00:02:59,590 If PDF is one of the extensions that's available to me and I have two applications already published 42 00:02:59,590 --> 00:03:03,730 in GPO, I can control which application will launch a PDF file. 43 00:03:04,610 --> 00:03:06,500 Preferentially using this UI. 44 00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:12,290 So if the user gets, for example, to PDF readers assigned to them, you can set which one launches 45 00:03:12,290 --> 00:03:13,520 using this dialog. 46 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:19,130 So very much a corner case but very much supported in software installation. 47 00:03:19,970 --> 00:03:25,610 And then finally, the categories option lets me define categories of applications so that I can group 48 00:03:25,610 --> 00:03:27,410 applications when I publish them. 49 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,100 So this is only for per user publishing where the application appears in the ADD Remove programs, control 50 00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,730 panel applet, and I'll show you that in a little bit. 51 00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:43,430 But essentially, this is the way you can define these categories of application types. 52 00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:46,700 And I defined one here called utilities. 53 00:03:47,630 --> 00:03:53,240 I could also define one called productivity, and that that might be where I put office applications, 54 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,080 for example. 55 00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:59,650 And those categories will can be assigned to the package when the package is deployed. 56 00:04:00,550 --> 00:04:05,500 So that's kind of a quick run through of just getting into and finding your way around the software 57 00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:06,280 installation. 58 00:04:07,150 --> 00:04:11,140 Next, we'll talk about kind of the details of how you deploy a package. 59 00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,930 And I'll dive in and give you a demo of that in a bit.
