Nathan- It somewhat depends upon two things-how you target those apps and how you delegate administration of them. If all machines are getting the same set of apps and you have centralized administration of your GPOs ,then putting all the apps in a single GPO is probably a good idea. However, if some machines or users get some apps and not others, or you have OU administrators that need to deploy their own apps, then breaking them up probably makes more sense.

Single or multiple GPOs Hi, We use GP to install software. Office, Acrobat, Citrix, Lotus Notes, Virus Software, Flash, Shockwave, Java and others. Now would it be best to have all these in 1 GPO or have each package in its own GPO? Or would you maybe group the different kinds of software into their own GPOs? I know every situation is different but I just want a rough idea of what others do and what sort of works best. TIA Nathan
