It's pretty simple/limited, but here's how I'm keeping clients up to date. I run the code below (check.bat) from the login script if the current user has administrator rights to the machine. It uses psinfo from
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml to see what's installed on the local workstation, and queues up anything that's not there. It only works for apps that register in add/remove programs, though I'm experimenting with checking registry values. After calling check.bat, the login script runs '%Z%\bin\todo.pl --go' if anything has been queued. %Z% has already been mapped earlier, so no need to use mapznrun. -- Daniel ========= check.bat ========= @echo off if exist c:\netinst\todo.txt ( echo todo.txt not empty, skipping inventory... goto :eof ) :: get windows version ver | find "Windows XP" >nul 2>nul if not errorlevel 1 set WINXP=y ver | find "Windows 2000" >nul 2>nul if not errorlevel 1 set WIN2000=y :: check registered applications for /F "delims=" %%a in ('%Z%\bin\psinfo -s') do call :check "%%a" :: check version of autoexnt.bat script call %windir%\system32\autoexnt.bat version if errorlevel 3 set AUTOEXNT=y goto :queue :check :: common apps if %1 == " Adobe Reader 6.0 6.0" set ADOBEREADER=y if %1 == " QuickTime " set QUICKTIME=y if %1 == " Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03 1.4.2_03" set SUNJRE=y if %1 == " 7-Zip 3.13 " set SEVENZIP=y if %1 == " Mozilla (1.6) " set MOZILLA=y if %1 == " ActivePerl 5.8.3 Build 809 5.8.809" set PERL=y goto :eof :maybequeue if %1 == .
