Disclaimer: I'm relatively new to GPO, so bear with me. Finding info on
the web or in books (I have the Microsoft Press Group Policy Guide) is
not working very well for me.

What I'm trying to accomplish is deploy the latest version of Adobe
Acrobat Reader (7.0.8) to my systems. I've gone and created the GPO,
but on my test platform, it only installed when I tried to launch a
PDF. The extension activation checkbox was checked and grayed out. I
want to deploy this to everyone at logon so that I can manage this
application via GPO. The only checkbox I have access to is the one to
uninstall when it falls out of scope. What am I doing wrong?
 
Howdy!

You will have to assign the software to the users/computers. If you
publish the software, people can decide whether they want to have the
software installed or not.

For any further implementation and tweaks, see what the guys from
appdeploy.com have to say:
