Hi,
I have been searchin the internet for days now but didn't find a solution. I have around 100 computers under one domain and i usually have to go to each computer to install service packs and other custom softwares and it is kind of uncentralized and time consuming. I am looking forward to a tool, published by other companies other than microsoft, to help me install applications silently across the network. So far the closest i find was languard from gfi but it displays GUI to the user. The user can cancel the installation if he/she wants. Is there any software that can do that please?

Try Symantec PcAnywhere. You should install this to your user to be able for it to work. If you are an admin you can remote the users forcing them to sit and watch you do the work.

re: Silentaly Install Applications via network


Thanks for the tip. I actually dont want to go to users computer to install the agent. I learned that the setup/installer accepts parameters to make silent installation. The problem is that the setup creators use different parameters, such as /sp /silent for setups created with innosetup. The problem is identifyin which software created the setup file. Any idea?
