Active Directory: Can Admin user install application under user profile?

I been setting up our user pc for a while. Before we usually ask user to login and we install the applications for them.

I wondering can we use Active Directory to deploy applications to our users without needing to log in.

Thanks for your helping


Yes, one way you can do it is by using Group Policy Objects to deploy applications to your users with a software installation policy.

This GPO feature allows you to deploy an MSI or MSP package to either users or computers on domain-joined machines. The GPO can be assigned to an OU, a domain, or an Active Directory site. It also provides a way to remove packages that were deployed with the policy.
