Can I deploy a new Font installation using a GPO...?

[Al.]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if I could use a GPO to push two "fonts" to all clients on
the network...? If so, how can I do it...?

All my users do not have local admin rights so, they can not install them
themselves.

Thanks in advance,

Al.

You can deploy it as an MSI package.

Creation of MSI packages:
- Installer2Go
- InstallSpy
- WinInstall LE (included on 2000 Server CD)
The acutal Version from OndemandSoftware can´t work with
MSI installer 3.0 if you use just for testing purposes the
Trail of it ...
etc.

Take a look at:

I have a german HowTo of it, that will not help a lot,
if you are not common with the language, but inside this
paper there are a lot of Screenshots and the MSI package tool
is english, so I think it will help.

Al.,

There is a tool out there called SANUR that will let you build
permissions into a logon script like a RUNAS that doesn't prompt.

This can be a good option.
