Deployable vb.net apps via active directory deployment

Hello,

I know it is possible to have deployable applications during login of win2k
and win xp systems through active directory, but i was wondering if it is
possible to create a deployment module from VS.NET to deploy a VB.NET
application across a network domain through active directory, is this
possible? and if so how? thanks!

I don't really get it. Aren't you just asking about an msi applied to
'Everyone'?

well to a group of users that have a group policy set up to install the MSI
file through intellimirror. I tried it and it doesn't seem to work so i was
wondering if there was anything special you had to do... we have other
things like Auto Update client doing it just fine on intellimirror...

Beats me I'm afraid. I install stuff through AD, but I've never heard of
intellimirror. In terms of anything special required in order to do the AD
thing, there's nothing that I'm aware of. Just a standard msi with (via AD)
all it's interface stuff set to 'quiet'.

well IntelliMirror is the name of the service that AD uses to deploy stuff,
it's done through group policy settings on the OU object in AD...

You'll have to script a silent install - there isn't a windows installer for
it. Easy on the crossposting, eh?

Extract the netfx.exe file. ("netfx /T:c:\[destination directory to extract
to] /C" I think) You'll find it's a .msi and a .cab file inside. Simply
deploy that. Just have the .msi and the .cab in the same directory as the
msi looks for the cab in the same place it's being installed from.

Exactly how you do it is documented at

Pretty simple, really. :)
