Onderwerp: RE: [ActiveDir] Logon script with Admin rights

well, I could think of many more drawbacks using this option...

don't get me wrong - psexec is cool. But I don't really see it as an option to 
deploy software to many clients of which usually a
certain percentage is remotely connected or offline.  So you'd have to build 
your own little framework to ensure availablity of the
clients and successfull install of the app etc.  The success naturally depends 
on your client landscape

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Logon script with Admin rights

There is simple way of doing this that works if
a) the .exe has a quiet option (-q for example) with no gui output
b) it is not necessary to install the program from a logon script


Simply install the program from another machine using psexec.exe i.e logon 
remote machine with sufficient privileges and run psexec
-c \\remotemachine "install.exe -q"
where install.exe is the installation program

This method has several advantages if you put it in a script
1) It can easily be extended to install over a range of computers
2) You can get feedback as to whether it has installed or not. 

As Rick points out preparing .msi files has it's drawbacks, not least of which 
is access to a clean machine to prepare it on.
