Software to install applications remotely
Posted by praveenkv1988, 08-02-2009, 12:29 AM Hello Everybody, I have setup Active Directory and client computers (win xp sp3). Now I want to install applications on client systems from the wondows server 2003. Can you suggest a software for this?
Posted by Collabora, 08-02-2009, 03:26 AM If you don't want to spend money one enterprise software and don't want to make your own msi packages and login scripts, and you don't have a lot of client computers, the cheapest and most straightforward way would be to create an installation point on a network share. You can rdp to desktop and install from there.
Posted by m8yhosting, 08-02-2009, 05:22 AM Active directory can do it for through Group Policy provided you have an MSI file. It is limited and you don't get any reporting/feedback on successful/failed installations but it does work. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816102 for details
