  • 1.  Creating a custom Group Policy MSI package to only install certain SEP components

    Posted Sep 15, 2009 10:22 AM
    I want to create a MSI package for published installs using Group Policy. However, I wish not to install all the features of SEP. I only want to install Antivirus and Antispyware Protection. I also want to change the Start Menu location in which SEP gets installed into. I read up on different threads about changing the setaid.ini file, which I changed.

    How can I customize the MSI package so that only the A/V & Antispyware components are installed?

    Other things would remain the same.

    log in to sepm
    click on admin
    click on install packages at the bottom.
    click on export client packages, choose a place
    uncheck create single exe.
    select just AV and AS from the drop down menu..

    this will have just AV and AS.

    Oh ok right! Now that I think about it. Thanks guys. All along I was thinking you had to change the MSI file somehow. BUT in group policy you still need to place the install files on a network share. I'll create the install package files through SEPM and place it on the network share so when I get to the GPO config I'll point it to the files.

    I wasn't even thinking about it. Thanks for the refresh guys.
