- [Voiceover] One of the nice features…that has been included with Group Policy,…pretty much since the beginning,…is the basic ability to deploy software.…Now I really do wanna emphasize that it is a basic ability…and what I mean by that is Group Policy software deployment…does not include any mechanism…for keeping track of any kind of inventory…and how many copies have been deployed…or any kind of licensing maintenance,…really anything along those lines.…So if you find yourself…in a corporate enterprise environment…where licensing maintenance is important,…then you are gonna have to go to a more advanced tool,…but if you just need basic software deployment…or maybe you have an enterprise license…with an unlimited number of deployments…and you don't have to keep track,…then Group Policy can do it for you.…
Now in order to demonstrate software deployment,…I'm on DC1…and here we're in the Group Policy Management Tool.…I do wanna show you…that inside my Sales organizational unit, if I expand that,…I do have a GPO that I've created…
