If your organization uses Windows Active Directory services, you may wish to consider using it to deploy OfficeStatus Windows Client to multiple domain users at once. This prevents IT staff from needing to go from one machine to another in order to install OfficeStatus Windows Client.
In order to deploy OfficeStatus Client using GPO, you'll need the MSI version of the installation package, which can be downloaded from here:
http://www.officestatus.com/download/current/OfficeStatus_Client_v2.msi
Once downloaded, place the MSI installation package in a shared network folder. Ideally, the shared network folder will also contain a ClientInstall.ini generated by the OfficeStatus Server installation process. For more information on how the ClientInstall.ini file is generated and used, please see OfficeStatus deployment Quick Start Guide.
From here, you will need to create a group policy object on your domain controller to handle distribution of the OfficeStatus Windows Client MSI package. This is a fairly straight-forward process, and Microsoft provides detailed instructions on doing so here:
