KarrottoP Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I am manage a network of Windows XP clients and a Primary Domain Controller with Samba (linux) This works out great, however, I was wondering if anyone might have suggestions on good systems for automated installation of programs and software updates that I might want to look into. As of now I am working with a poor batch script that I wrote to do this. All of the users log in with basic user privelages so obviously things would need to run as Admin.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nologic Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well you could use Javascript, VBscript, or AutoIt to help improve over the batch script.I'd personally suggest AutoIt, since you could build simple gui's if you like for end users or your self...also its easy to setup so that only certain updates or upgrades are available to certain mac address's or domains\workgroups.AutoIt could automate login as admin, performing the required updates then logging out to enduser...so every thing is done after hours out of sight and mind of the staff there.
