Hello.
I am currently using gpo to distribute certain software updates (Java, Flash, Shockwave etc.) I add the new .msi to the software package list and it does a really good job at identifying the earlier version to upgrade. My questions are about removing the old packages (and their .msi files).
1) I see the icons change on some packages from a disk with a green arrow to a disk with what looks like a yellow box. Does this mean they are no longer in use and the package can be removed form the policy?
2) how long do I need to keep the original .msi files? does group policy need them in place for uninstalls or some other function?
I have about 10 different packages for Flash alone at this point and would ike to start cleaning out the old ones.
Thanks for any thoughts.
