Group Policy

Your company has just purchased 120 licenses for a new application that will be used by all users. It is up to you to test and deploy the application as simply as possible. You decide to use a Group Policy object (GPO) to roll out the new application using the Windows Installer functionality. You create a software distribution point named Apps on the Serverl server and grant Read and Execute permissions to all users who will install the software. You then create a Group Policy object and edit the software installation properties under the User Configuration node. You configure the following properties: Default package location: C:\apps When adding new packages to user settings: Display the Deploy Software dialog box Installation user interface options: Maximum Uninstall the applications when they fall out of the scope of management: Enabled You create a software distribution package based on the above settings that assigns the appropriate Windows Installer package. However, when you test the package, Windows Installer doesn't execute and install the software. You need to find out why and make the appropriate changes. What should you do? Grant the Full Control permission to all users who will use the software distribution point. Change the Installation user interface options setting to Basic. Disable the Uninstall the applications when they fall out of the scope of management option. Change the Default package location setting to \\Server1\Apps\. Delete and recreate the software distribution package.

Change the Default package location setting to \\Server1\Apps\. Delete and recreate the software distribution package.

You are a domain administrator for a single-domain network. The domain has several organizational units (OUs) representing each department in the organization. You have delegated complete administration for each OU to appropriate users in each department. You have made these users members of the Group Policy Creator Owners group. You create a Group Policy Object (GPO) named Corporate Desktop that configures the desktop environment for users in the company. You link the GPO to the domain. Later, you discover that some of the settings are not being applied to users in the Development department. How can you make sure that all settings in the Corporate Desktop GPO get applied to all users in the company?

You are the administrator of a single-domain network. The domain has an OU named Sales. All users in the Sales OU use an application named ContactTrack. You want to install this application to all computers in the Sales OU. You create a GPO named Deploy Software, configure it to assign the ContactTrack application to users, and link the GPO to the Sales OU. Although the shortcut appears in the Start menu for Sales users, the application is not installed until users click the shortcut. You want the GPO to install the application completely. What should you do? Add users in the Sales OU to the Deploy Software GPO's access control list, and grant them Read and Apply Group Policy permissions. Configure the Computer Configuration node rather than the User Configuration node of the Deploy Software GPO.
