AD: Roll out an MSI application at midnight

Using Windows Server's Active Directory and Group Policy, is there a way to roll out an MSI file at a scheduled time, like midnight?


Solution 1:

Strickly speaking no. GPOs are not scheduled tasks. They run when the system updates (reboots, etc).

We use Quest's GPOAdmin. It allows for time-based deployment of GPOs. This could help somewhat.

Sounds like you really need a software deployment systems (SCCM, LANDesk, etc)
