To specify application categories for Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel |
-
Open Group Policy Software Installation.
-
In the results pane, right-click the managed application for which you want to set categories, and then click Properties.
-
In the Properties dialog box for the application, click the Categories tab.
-
On the Categories tab, do either of the following:
- To associate an application category that has
been defined for your organization with this application, click a
category in the Available Categories list, and then click
Select.
- To remove a category that is associated with
this application, click a category in the Selected
categories list, and then click Remove.
- To associate an application category that has
been defined for your organization with this application, click a
category in the Available Categories list, and then click
Select.
Additional considerations
- To complete this procedure, you
must have Edit setting permission to edit a GPO. By default,
members of the Domain Administrators security group, the Enterprise
Administrators security group, or the Group Policy Creator Owners
security group have Edit setting permission to edit a
GPO.
- Because assigned applications do not appear
in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, the
categories that you set in this dialog box generally pertain to
published applications only. The application appears in the
selected categories in Add or Remove Programs, which the
user can use to install the application.
- Do not use this procedure to create or remove
categories. Use this procedure to associate applications with
existing categories.
