Back in Windows XP/7 I remember being shown how to remote software installs via .msi with AD. Can you still do that in Windows 2012/8 days or was that dropped/removed? I've not even seen it mentioned in any 2012 tutorials either.

Group Policy - it's still here, can deploy software via Software Publishing (.msi only), or logon scripts.
Also, in some cases psexec becomes really handy method to install software almost anywhere.

Please note that a lot of administrators avoid the GPO .msi software installs because of a long list of problems and exceptions with this method. – HopelessN00b Oct 11 '14 at 21:10
