Install Notepad++ with GPO

By Daag van der Meer July 28, 2017

For a different company I needed to install Notepad++ on some systems.

Created AD group. Created a Share. Give rights to the AD group.
In the ad Group place the computers.

Created GPO and rights to the AD group only.
Added the script in startup scripts in the computer configuration.
