step by step guide to deploy java via GPO

New page

== Group Policy ==

=== Software Deployment ===

'''Requirements'''
* A working AD installation.
* GPMC(Group Policy Management Console) installed on a computer.
* Access to change AD and GPO stuff (domain administrator works but is proberbly not best practice)
* 1 client to experiment on.
* Install [http://www.klaus-hartnegg.de/gpo/orca.html orca] on the client.

AFAIK, you can only install .msi packages.

'''The process'''
# create a distribution point
# Share the distibution point on the network, authenticated users have read only access and you have full access, be aware that (NTFS && Share = true access)
# Download the software that you want to deploy, follow [http://www.klaus-hartnegg.de/gpo/msi_java.html this site] for installing java etc.
# Place the java files in a folder at your distribution poit, called "java"
# Open GPMC and in the domain, right click on "Group Policy Objects"
# Create a new group policy, and name it Software - Java, with no starter GPO defined
# Right click on the new GPO, and choose "edit"
# Navigate to Computer configuration -> Policies -> Software Settings -> Software installation
# Right click on software installation, "new" -> "Package..."
# Navigate to the '''network path''' of your distribution point and choose the java*.msi
# In the next window, choose "Advanced" and then "ok"
# Ensure that the name reflects if it's a 32 or 64 bit installation
# Under "Deployment" tick of the "Uninstall this ..."
## If it's a 32bit package and it should be installed on a 64 bit system, go to "Advanced" and tick of the appropiate box
# "Upgrades" are only interesting when you upgrade software.
# goto "Modifications" press "add" and select your .mst file, if you created one with orca.
# Exit the dialog by pressing "ok" and close the GPMC editor

Now we are ready to deploy the software to the client.
# select the group policy
# In the "scope" tab, review the settings under "security filtering", as long as you are testing, I would recommend that you only include the client and user that you are testing with.
# Link the group policy to the OU that you are using for testing and therefore contains the client.
# Reboot your client 2 times. (first time the gpo settings on the client gets updated and the second time the software is installed)

If everything went as planned, then you have just deployed java on a client via GPO :)

==== Explenations ====

'''.msi''' is the installation package<br>
'''.mst''' is the transformation package<br>
'''.msp''' is an update package<br>
