Installing Chrome via GPO

Hi! I've been working on trying to install Chrome to all Domain Computers via GPO by following this link and cannot figure out what I've been doing wrong but it's not installing on any machine. Can someone tell me if something is missing from these instructions?
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/google-in-the-enterprise/install-chrome-via-gpo-and-save-yourself-some-time/

Hi Lynnette74,
Based on my understanding, you would like to deploy Chrome to all Domain Computers via GPO. Right?
It would help us to narrow down the cause of this issue if you could provide the following information:
Did this issue occur in one computer or several computers? This step is to check the cause of this issue is the process of deployment or the installation.
Do this issue still occur when you manually install this software in this computer? This step is to check if the installation package cause this issue. If you can manually install
this software successfully, then the deployed installation package may be broken during the deployment. If not, the cause may be the computer or the software, such as compatibility, account permission and so on.
In addition, you can follow the steps below to check if the GPO is applied to these clients:
Click
Start, type rsop.msc in the search box to access
Resultant set of policy.
Check if the GPO is applied to these clients and the setting of the GPO is correct.
For your information, please refer to the following article to learn more about the software deploment via GPO:

Can I install Reader via GPO

Hello,
I've got an organisation (about 100 PC's/Laptop) that has multiple versions of the Reader software, going back to 8.1.0. I'd like to get everybody up to the same version, but the quantity (and geographic locations) of machines means that's all I'd do. I've recently started using GPO to install some software, so my questions are:
Is it possible to install Reader via GPO.
If it is possible do the users need administrative privileges to the machine or can the they be normal users?
Thanks in advance
Tony

See this document for some information on Adobe Reader deployment: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/reader/pdfs/deploying_reader9.pdf (sorry, I don't know if there is a new document specific for Adobe Reader X).
Also, you can download MSI installers
9.4: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.4.0/en_US/AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi
10.0: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.0/en_US/AdbeRdr1000_en_US.msi

Installing client via gpo vs client push?

hello all
When it comes to pushing the sccm 2012 client does anyone have any thoughts on the pros and cons of pushing via gpo? We are exploring this as an option. We used client push in the past but wanted to give group policy a try. Just as a side note the sccm 2012
client is already on all of our clients and servers from a previous failed site deployment. So this would be a new client (same version CM12) and a different site code.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I like to use Jason Sandys excellen startup script is executed as an startup script.. it provides much more control and many more features than using the .adm files which ships with SCCM 2012.
Compared to Client push there are many advantages as well, you don't have to open all the ports on the client, the script provides more features like wmi-check. It is a great resource.

Thanks guys!
Since the client is already installed on each computer with the old site code how will the install behave considering that piece?

Installing printers via GPO

Hi guys,
I'm trying to deploy a printer using a GPO and I wonder what's the difference between deploying "USER|Computer\Policies\Windows Settings\Printer connections" and "USER|Computer\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Printers"
By the way, my colleague isn't able to see "USER|Computer\Policies\Windows Settings\Printer connections", any idea why?
Lastly, this printers are installed and listed on another AD domain and forest. Everything is properly set up so my users can access that other domain and its resources, and I can manually go to \\printserver and connect to these printers. This server is
running 2003 and the client workstations are windows 7. Anything I should bear in mind? I'm planning to migrate this printers to a new shiny win 2015 but that's not my priority right now.
Thanks a lot

The spooler team designed USER|Computer\Policies\Windows Settings\Printer connections"
The only way to delete the connect is through policy; Can't set default. Used only for connections.
USER|Computer\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Printers"
Purchased from another company; can set default; can add local printers but have to specify a shared printer to get a driver.
When using Group Policy Object editor to add the connection to a policy, the Print Server role tools must be installed on the machine. One can install the tools without adding the role. dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Printing-admintools-collection
Make sure you configure the Computer\Admin templates\printers\Point and print restrictions policy when creating connections to 2003, none of the drivers contain a digital signature so the Window machines will throw UI asking if the print server is
trusted.

Installing Forticlient via GPO

what Event ID is it throwing at you?

Mathieu Cohen wrote:
well that doesn`t really help... Can you manually install it on the laptops using users credentials?
That was my next question. It might be permission related? Or just an error in the installation process from a corrupted file. If that is the issue a manual install like Mathieu suggested would do the trick.

Hi Abhijit,
I am able to install InDesign CS6 manually on the machines from the CD/DVD however when trying to install it via GPO or running the msi using the msi exec commands it doesn't install and leaves the above errors in the event log.
The installation was made using the same CD/DVD and the installation works on the Windows XP clients and software other than InDesign CS6 will install to the Win 7 64-bit machines via GPO.
Cheers,

Deploy reader updates and install/uninstall reader via GPO ???

Hello,
Got a couple of questions on install/uninstall via GPO and how to deploy reader updates.
1) How to uninstall older version of readers via GPO?
2) Is there an ADM file available for installing the latest reader via GPO?
3) For reader patch updates, can it be deployed via GPO? If yes, any docs. I can refer to? If no, what is the minimum priviledge I must grant to domain users to allow them to run the update function w/in the reader (or assign to a specific file path)?
Thanks in advance!
Luke

Installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO not working properly

Hello,
i've installed Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO.
Installation works fine, but there is no flash player available in Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Deployed both Flash Players.
Tried to reinstall Flash Player 11.8.800.94 for Firefox, but it's still not active.
Windows 7, 64bit
Greetings,
Michael

Hello Comvel.
RE:
Hello,
i haven't fixed it yet.
I've deployed the last few version of flash player without any problems.
I haven't found any new things in the admin guide.
The plugins don't show up in both browsers. I can't enable them.
On the most importent clients, i've installed flash player manually.
I know it has been a few months since your post but, I was wonderingif you were able to find a solution for this that didn't involve manual installations. I've recently deployed 11.8.800.175 and am running into the same problems. Some work stations are just fine. But others, (both windows 7 and xp, all IE8) are not working. When navigating to a site like youtube, theres a banner that says update is needed. When you go to manage add-ons there is no shock object/add on.

Want to use old research program that worked through firefox chrome folder via modification of installed-chrome.txt file

there is a program (ESP, the Experience Sampling Program) that allows easy development and installation of research protocols via palm pilots. The program runs in mozilla-based browsers--Mozilla or Firefox. After the program is installed, it is accessed by hitting the URL chrome://espdesktop/content/desktop.xul. Previously, this required editing the file "installed-chrome.txt" file which was located into the chrome subfolder. The newest versions of firefox have done away with this subfolder. Not being a programmer, I am having trouble figuring out how to access the program now.

First thing I noticed is you are running on an outdated/older version of Firefox & not the current version. Download it from here:
* At the top of the Firefox window click the Firefox button, go over to the Help menu and select About Firefox. For Windows XP: Go to the Help menu and select About Firefox.
* The About Firefox window will open and Firefox will begin checking for updates. If updates are available, they will begin downloading automatically. If Firefox is already up to date, just close the About Firefox window.
* When the updates are downloaded and ready to be installed, click Restart to Update. Firefox will be restarted and the updates will be installed.

How to install reader & patches via GPO?

I need to know the proper way to install Adobe Reader via GPO, as well as what to do about patches when they come out?
I have seen too many different ways online, I'd like an official way.

Uninstall / Install via GPO

I'm in need of a working solution for how to remove/uninstall any previous version of Flash Player and then to install a newer version of Flash Player.
I need this to be an MSI/MST file, since I need to roll this out via GPOs, so the ordinary EXE file to remove Flash Player doesn't work.
Anyone has any ideas how to do this?
Thanks

Most of these info can be found in http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html
You can download the MSI from http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

Difficulties installing flash player via GPO

Hello, I'm attempting to try and deploy flash player via GPO to computers on our domain, and in testing, I am unable to get the MSI's to install after doing a gpupdate and letting the PC restart as it requests.
I've followed the instructions Adobe has listed for deploying to AD via GPO to the letter, I have the shares on a publicly accessible location, the software assigned in the GPO, and the GPO linked to my testing container with the testing PCs. All the PCs are fully patched, just nothing happens after a reboot. I can publish the MSI's just fine to where I can see them available to install via GPO, but I want to assign them instead. Does anyone have some insights into what could be going wrong?

I'm still not having any luck with this, does anyone have any advice at all?

MS Dynamics CRM 2013 install via GPO

Good Morning,
I need to rollout MS Dynamics CRM 2013 to all 180 of my users. I would like to do this via GPO but I only have the .exe install files and no .msi files. I have adhered to the following -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh699775.aspx
I have followed the steps under the section Create the CRMCLient_bitversion.msi file
but I am not achieving any administrative installation files. For example I have a network share setup as follows -
\\server\crm_files\test
I have mapped a network folder via command prompt using the net use command to map the Z: drive to
\\server\crm_files. As per the instructions I have run the following command -
CRM2013-Client-ENU-i386.exe /a /q /targetdir \\server\crm_files\test
When I run this command I am prompted to click Run or Cancel so I click Run. After 2-3 seconds I then get a dialog box showing the different switches that I can run with the only other option being to close the box. After closing the box I look in my
test folder and it is empty.
Should there be something in the test folder? Have I run the wrong command string?
EDIT: Please note that I only have the installation/.exe file for CRM 2013. The article on the link I posted earlier mentions an XML file that is included with the installation files. I do not have this XML file.
Jeet S

Hi,
Have you checked this article?
Install Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook using a command prompt
==============
CRM2013-Client-ENU-i386.exe /a /q /targetdir \\server\crm_files\test
The command here is not in the right way, we need first to extract files from the
CRM2013-Client-ENU-i386.exe, under the folder we will find the
SetupClient.exe and the mentioned XML files.
Run this command to extract the file:
CRM2013-Client-ENU-i386.exe /extract
Then use the command below to create an MSI file:
Setupclient /Q /A /targetdir "\\share\mscrm_client_admin"
Besides, for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 deployment, we'd better ask in the forum below:
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Forum

Installing FIM 2010 Add-ins and Extensions via GPO

Hi,
I have been trying to install the FIM Client using Group Policy software installation using the following link : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2236.how-to-prepareexecute-installation-of-fim-2010-add-ins-and-extensions-via-gpo.aspx
The crucial section missing on this page is what property to add/modify using Orca so that the install can proceed silently using an MST file which provides the registration_portal_url, RMS_location and addlocal properties for the FIM client install.
If I install the client manually using the following command, msiexec /i "Add-ins and extensions.msi" transforms=client.mst /q, the client install proceeds silently which is what I expect.
The UILevel=2 property is supposed to tell Windows installer to proceed silently as per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372096%28v=vs.85%29.aspx, however when I set this property in Orca for the transform file and then I execute the msiexec command,
the UI still comes up and prompts me for selecting the different options for installing the client.
Has anybody successfully deployed FIM client through group policy?
Thanks!

I still cannot get the FIM client to install through GPO. To confirm that a silent install of the FIM client works (because that is exactly what the GPO software install is doing), I ran the following command on my Windows XP computer
msiexec /i "Add-ins and extensions.msi" /q
Immediately, after running this command, I got an error in the application log
"Product: Forefront Identity Manager Add-ins and Extensions -- You must specify FIM Service server address."
So it looks like there is no way to install the client through GPO without specifying the FIM service server, and that cannot be done without an MST file.....
So I will have to play around with the MST file and see if I can get it installed
