RE: [ActiveDir] GPO Software Deployment

[Crawford, Scott]

I believe 9.0.0.338 is the first version of SAV that supports GPO deployment.  I haven’t seen a transform creator per se, but the Symantec System Center allows you to configure most options.  These settings are stored in GRC.dat on \\ParentServer\VPHOME\CLT-INST\WIN32 along with the MSI needed for GPO deployment.  Are there other settings you’re hoping to tweak besides those configured in SSC?  If not, you just create a new GPO with an assigned computer application with the source being \\ParentServer\VPHOME\CLT-INST\WIN32\Symantec Antivirus.msi   One caveat, there will be problems removing the application if a password is required to uninstall since it will hang waiting for it, but since it will be invisible to the user, there will be no way to enter it.  This results in a lengthy timeout.  Not sure how this will affect clients that may have an earlier version installed, but again you can remove the password requirement through SSC.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 9:16 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] GPO Software Deployment   I would like to deploy a package (SAV 9.0) using GPO and use some of the switches with the msi package. However, I cannot figure out how to do this. Is it even possible or do I have to create a new package with all of the options embedded?   _________________________   Daniel DeStefano PC Support Specialist   IAG Research 345 Park Avenue South, 12th Floor New York, NY 10010 T. 212.871.5262 F. 212.871.5300   www.iagr.net Measuring Ad Effectiveness on Television   The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be privileged and is intended for the exclusive use of the above named addressee(s).
