You have to use Group Policies to publish applications. Create a Group
Policy on a OU that holds your user accounts. Use User
Configuration/Software Settings/Software installation setting in GPO. For
application to appear in Add Remove Programs you have to Publish it. Create
new Package and there point to your network share with msi file. Your users
must have read permission to that share.
Additionally you can filter which user gets published application by using
security settings on GPO properties. Remove authenticated users group and
add your custom group. Assign Read + Apply policy permission to your custom
group. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302430

I have try what u said, I have created my own group policy
and attach my installation application to be publish.

I can see my application publish from my client side in
control panel add /remove program only if I add my new
created policy to the group policy list of my root domain.

If I create a new OU and add the created policy I cannot
see the publkished application fro control panel, can you
tell me why and how to correct?

regards
serge
 
Are user accounts residing in that OU ? GPO's apply only to user account in
the OU on which GPO is defined (+inheriting GPO's)

hello,

here is how I do it..

I have created a new OU named Engenering, then in that OU
I have add a new group of users named Software.
Then I add all needed users(members of USERS BUILD IN) in
that group.

Then I select properties of my created OU and Group policy
tab. then I add there my policy object and select
properties of that object, then in Security tab I add my
previously Software group with READ and APPLY POLICY
permission.

An that's it. If I do only this then, I could not see my
published software in Add/Remove.
And to be sure that security gets apply I force them with
secedit tool

IN order to make it work I need to add my group policy
object also to my Domain name. Without this it is not
working if group policy is just in new created OU


Thnaks for your comments
regards
serge


IN order to make it
 
GPO's don't work on groups, but just on users and computer objects. If you
put a group in OU and user inside that group GPO won't be applied. You must
put user account in that OU.
