Deploying and upgrading software
You can deploy and upgrade software to remote computers in managed environments by using Group Policy Software Installation to assign Windows Installer packages. Windows Installer packages are deployed and managed within a Group Policy object, which is in turn associated with a particular Active Directory container--either a site, a domain, or an organizational unit. You can use Add or Remove programs in Control Panel to install, upgrade, or manage an application on a local computer. You can also use Remote Desktop Connection to install or upgrade an application by using Add or Remove programs on a remote computer. For more information, see Add or Remove programs overview and Remote Desktop Connection.

Some of the most common tasks are deploying software to remote computers, upgrading software on remote computers, and installing or upgrading software on a local computer.
