I wonder just which method is better? We have 1200 PCS/laptops and
about 50 use VPN to connect and never goes to office. We have 10
regional sites, with 50% are in 10Mb hub and other 50% in 100Mb
switch.

What's the benefit if the security (\program files\myapps;
HKLM\Software\MyApps) are set during the MSI package creation (we use
WISE packaging tool) instead of using GPO?

And what's the disadvantage if done in MSI?

Thanks
 
GPOs have File System policies which are design to do this. These settings
will download much faster than an MSI, and apply much faster as well.

We install 10 - 12 new apps (average) a year to users, if we use GPO
to perform File System Policies, will it make the GPO more complex as
well, taking longer time to load up the OS?

I am new to GPO. Where can I found out info/tech. notes on File
System Policies?

Thank you
