VMO plugin rollout/installation

[henry.astorga]

Can anyone recommend the best method to deploy the VMO plugin to a large user population? I understand that the .MSI has to be run from the local hard drive.

We used Active Directory group policy to deploy VMO and it works great. The .MSI sits on a network share and I've never had any problems. The following link describes the process to publish an application through an AD GPO.

Hope this helps. If so, please rate the post.

Thanks,

Brandon, thank you for your reply, I will check out your recommendation. I know that the AD admin here tried to use a method that should work with .MSI files and it failed giving an error message that it could not extract deployment information from the package and Cisco TAC said the .MSI has to be run from a local drive.
