Title: Distribute file to all desktop

Is this a large app or a simple .exe? Pushing via GPO?

I am thinking to push this survey in two ways 1. Push it through SMS – Only problem I can think, if sms client is not installed on client desktop then he/she will get survey. I don’t want to add SMS client dependency on it. 2. Login script would be a good option but survey will run only in case of user log in to desktop.   I am looking for similar way (tool or script) like SMS but it does not have client dependency.   We wanted to make this survey mandatory to all users, if we send mail and ask users to go and run it from specified location then few users might not open survey as well.
