Are there any best practices for deploying software via AD/GPO?

I think it really comes down to your organization and what software you’re deploying (is it sensitive software you don’t want everyone to have access to?). Here are some basics that could be helpful to you:

  1. Stay organized
  2. Restrict access to shares so only those who need can access
  3. Don’t let authenticated users modify or write to the directory (only your admins with a need to do so should be able to)
  4. Remove software when it’s no longer needed.
  5. Only deploy software top users and computers that need them
