Assign software using Group Policy and Security Groups?

by mrtoikka . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

Hello all! If anyone can help me figure this out faster it would be much appreciated. At my last job when we wanted to push software to users we (I’m almost positive) had a group policy for that specific software package, and somehow had a security group linked to it, so when we wanted to have it installed for a specific user, all we did was open what appeared to me to be a security group in AD, and then added the user’s AD account to it, apply, ok, close out the AD window, and have the user log-off and log-on again and viola, the software installed itself. Removing the user from the group and doing a log-off/in cycle also removed the software from the computer. I am trying to set this up at my new job and not having a whole lot of luck. Can anyone help?
