I would like to be able to see how many workstations have installed a piece
of software via Group Policy. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
 
Hello samgoucher,

No, this is not listed in AD. You have to search the the computers for that.

Best regards

Click to expand...

Software Installation in GP is rather limited here. There's nothing like
a Software Deployment lifecycle so you'll basically have to rely on
other technologies to build an inventory of the software installed.

Good candidates are WMI and a script that runs on the clients and
generates a list on a server share that gets updated from time to time.
OR third party products that are capable of doing that.

cheers,

Florian
