[Search] Installscript over Network

Post by fakerr » Thu Dec 02, 2010 10:52 am

Hi,

first my english is bad, ask if u dont understand something.

I need a Scheduler script for installing Programs on other PCs on LAN.

My example: I want to install Adobe Reader X on all PCs in my LAN. But i don't want do it over GPO because it wont work fine.

Now i want to do it with a script.

First i copy all Install.msi and Data.cab to all PCs. Then i want that the script install it from my pc over the network.

-> i need to install it with admin rights

so i need a loop for all PCs in my network. I can write the path' manually in the script.

Can someone Help me?

Are the boot drives of all your PC's shared?

My solution would be to place the installer and required files on one central network drive that all PC's have access to.

Then place a link in the startup folder of each PC, so that it starts the install when rebooted.

If I come up with the code to do this later, I will post it. But this should get you thinking.
