Remote Installations

[BG]

Not sure if any one has run into an app that does this but,
I recently got the Symantec Corporate AV Package. The Client installation is pretty slick. You can browse your network for Windows NT,XP,2000 Computers and install the client software from your server. You don't even have to touch the Client PC. Has any one run into or developed a tool to create setup packages like this?

Oh yea, Thanks for the C# Forum. Sorry the First question wasn't totally related.

I done know if this is how it can be done but presume it was just copying the files over.

If figured that, I probably should have been more specific. I need to know how to search a network and find all of the Windows 2000, XP, NT Comps then create a share on the c drive so I can copy the files to them.

by default when you install windows xp, nt, 2k. and it is on a network hooked up to a domain the c drive is shared as \\computer\c$

So you don't need to create a share on each computer. You could maybe push out a script when ever the computer is logged into it writes out sys info to a file on a server. then you will know which computers have what OS.

Hope this has been useful.
