Software distribution order [GPO]

[Krzysztof Kuzniecow]

Hello

How to change the order (priority) of installation of software packages from
GPO (one GPO for all packages)??

Are there any tools??

Best Regards,

KK

You can create depends for upgrade package. But in fact them will install in
the order you have added them to the GPO. The best way to control this is to
use multiple GPOs one for each application.

Sure, but this method has got few disadventages... I tried to understund how
it works, it's meen, where AD/GPO stores information about the order. I
tried to change the dates of ASS files but there wasn't good results.

The date is in the whenCreated Attribute of the packageRegistration class.

Use the ADSI Spain from the Windows Support Tools you will find them at your
Windows Server CD.

Connect to the Domain Naming Context and go to the follow location:

CN=Packages,CN=Class
Store,CN=User,CN=<POLICY_GUID>CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=<Domain>,DC=<domain>

Thanks for this suggestion. I discovered that the value of
"lastUpdateSequence" parameter decides about the order of installation, now
we are trying to develop a simple tool to set the priority for packages to
use each time we need it.

Interesting. Good work. the LastUpdateSequence attribute of the
PackageRegistation Class?
