A company wants to deploy a new accounting software across its network. Which of the following is the BEST method to ensure that the installation process does not disrupt ongoing operations and can be repeated across multiple machines?
Manually install the software on each machine during non-business hours.
Purchase physical media and distribute it to each department for local installation.
Use Active Directory Group Policy for automated software deployment.
Permit each user to download and install the software from the vendor's website.
Utilizing Active Directory Group Policy allows the IT department to automate the installation of the software across multiple machines seamlessly. This method ensures that all installations are uniform and reduces the chances of user error. Manual installations and individual user installations are prone to errors and inconsistencies. Purchasing physical media unnecessarily complicates the process and can lead to inconsistencies.
