Configuring WMI Filters or GPO for Software Installation restirctions

Good day all,
I am trying to configure a first time WMI filter to prevent my users from installing new software. I don't want to restrict anything they currently have as it is working fine. They have very minimal programs installed as is (MS Office, IE, Java, etc..).
I would like to keep what they have and prevent new installations using either GPO or WMI filters. 
I have checked a few posts prior to writing here, but I am not familiar with alot of the code or jargon that is used. I am as I said, trying this for the first time. I have been checking the below link and got as far as step 7. This is where I get lost.

I just need something very basic that says "You can't install this, call IT" with any new install attempts.
PS. You guys have been a great help in the last few weeks for me.

Hi Dario,
Based on your description, I understand that you want to prevent domain users from installing software via
group policy. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
As you know, you can use
Software Restriction Policies. May also be able to use
AppLocker. For more details, please refer to following thread.
Block
software installations -GPO
In addition, from your this thread, I noticed that you focus on
WMI filter. Did you mean that you want to know how use WMI Query to filter correct Windows version or any other? Sorry for my confusion.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

  • Insufficient permissions for software installation

     
    We are experiencing following error message when installing software from software center using SCCM 2012 SP1 “Insufficient Permissions for software installation”. only when users (without local
    admin) are login. This error is only happening to small number of clients while other clients are installing with no issue.
    I have found following KB and it is the same issue:

    Is it possible a GPO policy and if yes what will be the configuration information to verify.

    Hi,
    Are there two clients with this error in the same domain and with the same GPO applied?

  • I just bought two ibooks. they power up but all the screen will display is a little folder that blinks icons but thats all i have two disks for software installation and software restore but all it does is that folder thingie. please help.

    Please help. Is there any other way to reset to factory settings without the disks.

    You need the original installation disks specific for each machine or compatible Mac OS X retail disks which you can buy on eBay or from several dealers.
    To see which OS X you can use go to thse links and look up the specs on your iBooks.

  • Creating a disk image for software installation

    Hello all,
    I'm having a problem with my iMac not reading my family pack OSX Tiger install DVD... although it worked fine on my other three macs. Someone said that I could "create a mirror image of the DVD to my desktop on another mac and then copy that to an ipod. Then use the ipod to boot up the imac and install Tiger".
    Can anyone explain to me how to do that? IE... how to create a mirror image of the DVD so I can try the ipod fix?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Matt

    Matt, I may have a solution for you.
    I was stumped by this and wanted to see if I could figure it out, so I was Googling around and ran into this. It is the very first post and details the process of how someone else used an iPod to install Tiger from DVD to a Mac that did not have a DVD drive.

    Good Morning,
    So despite numerous variations and permission settings we are still experiencing problems with this. So this is what has been done so far –
    The msi file has been moved to another location on the network which we know works for other msi files –
    This did not work although when we check event viewer, gpresult and RSOP the policy is being applied but the software installation is failing.
    Added domain users to local admins. The share folder containing the source msi has
    Everyone setup for read and execute permission –
    This made no difference
    Tried running the msi file logged in as administrator and also tried running the msi whilst logged in as myself –
    The msi runs fine for administrator but will not run when logged in as myself and gives the following error:
    Software installation failed due to the error listed below. The installation source for the product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that
    you can access it.
    The msi contains an upgrade to our antivirus software. I setup two machines one with the old antivirus software installed on it and the other without any antivirus software on it. Logged in as domains users on each machine and did a gpupdate /force /boot
    After logging back in I ran RSOP and found that on the machine which had no antivirus on it to begin with there was an error for software installation stating –
    Fatal error during software installation. For the machine that had antivirus already installed on it there was no such error and the software installation states that the installation was successful and yet the new A/V software is still not installed.
    This morning I got in early to try and do some more work on this but my boss was already here and advised that even a login script will not work so he has installed it manually on one of the machines and it appears to have worked fine. Not really sure where
    to go from here.

  • How do I find CD keys for software pre-installed on my computer?

    Hi, All
    When I purchased my Tiger MAC, it came with so much software that I didn't get to opening and running all of them for a couple of YEARS! . I never has a problem burning DVD's until recently, so I never recieved any stimulation to try Toast.
    When I tried to run Toast 7 for the first time, it asked for a CD key. I haven't a clue where to find it. So to expedite measure faster, I simple went out and purchased a new version of Toast only to find out that my OS 10.4.11 is already outdated and won't run the latest version of Toast.
    Before I have to spend more money upgrading to OS10.5, I just wanted to know if I was forgetting or over looking something. Is there a list of CD keys provided by Apple when they ship out custom built computers? or are they suppose to be included under a packaged CD key? I never received a box that contained the Toast software.

    Hmmm, did you buy it new from Apple?
    I don't think they ever included Toast, & Toast would need the Key from it's original CD.

  • GPO Software Installations always require configuring on first run.

    Whenever I push out an MSI through a GPO, the first time a user runs the software after logging in requires Windows 7 to configure the product before it will load up.  With the exception of VMWare 10, this only happens once per usage of the software
    per login and is avoided if the shortcuts created with the install aren't used.  If I navigate to the software installation folder and manually run an executable, there is no please wait while windows configures ....  For some lesser applications,
    removing the shortcuts from the msi and creating manual shortcuts through GPO, I was able to work around the problem, but it's becoming too much of a hassle to keep doing.
    So, my question is, how do I stop Windows from configuring applications on first run that are installed through GPO?
    Thanks

  • GPO Software Installation Question

    I have our system set to install 3 applications to every computer that connects to the domain. Our portal software, our Virus protection and 90% of the computers need Adobe so I have that pushed out as well.  
    We also have about 15 Thin Clients set up as Kiosks.  I was thinking of connecting them to the domain but I did not want any software pushed out to them.  I was wondering if the "Configure software Installation policy processing" setting
    in "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Group Policy" would work to accomplish this if I link the GPO directly to the OU that contains the Kiosk profiles.

    What you can do below mention steps
    1.Create a Security group and add all the kioks and thin clients to this group
    2.Create a group policy and configure software distribution 
    3.Apply group policy to the ou where you have all the computers and software
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/816102?wa=wsignin1.0
    4.Using Group policy delegation deny applying particular group policy for that computer group which we have created in step 1

  • Software Installation issues via GPO

    Hi there,
    I have created a new GPO (computer configuration) that deploys Sketchup Pro 2014 to computerson the network.
    My tester computer refuses to install it.
    Here are the System Events i receive:
    Event 101:
    The assignment of application SketchUp 2014 from policy Application Delivery - Sketchup 2014 failed.  The error was : %%1274

    : %%1274
    Event 1112:
    The Group Policy Client Side Extension Software Installation was unable to apply one or more settings because the changes must be processed before system startup or user logon. The system will wait for Group Policy processing to finish completely before
    the next startup or logon for this user, and this may result in slow startup and boot performance.
    I restarted the machine a few times with no result.
    I also have: [Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon = enabled]
    All of my computers are equipped with SSD drives, not sure if that would matter, i had a heck of a time with GPOs and SSDs before.
    Any help?
    Thanks,

    I think I just found a solution.
    As per this
    thread:
    Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Group Policy > Policy > Startup policy processing. Change from default to Enabled and 30 sec.
    Does the trick.

  • Delgate or give administrative athority to a user for simple client software installation

    I have a new Server 2012 R2 machine. It contains a single domain with an Active Directory Domain Services configured. Currently there are 10 users been served by this server: roaming profiles, sharing of a printer, and sharing of some files. The setup is
    very simple as you can see.
    The client machines connected to the server all run a simple mapping software. From time to time, the software vendor that supplies the mapping software puts out patches and updates. From time to time, a user will want to install a peice of his or her
    own software (examples: Google Earth; Yahoo Messanger).
    The users are all responsible adults. I don't need to worry about them messing up their machines with malware. But I'm not available to the users all the time. Rignt now, I have to logon to the client machine each time to run the .exe file as myself (the
    Administrator) to perform a software installation.
    I don't want to give out my Administrator password. Is it possible to create a user (or allow an existing user) of the domain to have the right to install a peice of software on their own but without allowing this user to make other changes to the domain
    or the server?
    I appricate you taking the time to read my question. Please let me know if there's anything unclear in my inquiry.

    Additionally, it is not at all uncommon to grant users local administrative privileges on their own machines.  This does not involve granting them administrative permissions on the domain - just on their machine.  As Domain Administrator, you would
    still have local administrative access to each machine (Domain Admins are automatically added to the local administrators group).
    I would suggest that you create a separate account for them on their machines that would be joined to the local administrator's group and that they only use that account when they need to install a patch or some allowed software.  All other work should
    be done under their regular, non-privileged account.
