Forgive me if I'm reading this wrong? Are you asking to deploy an
executible file to all so that they can run the file? Do they then need
local admin rights and have to trust the source of this survey?
Isn't that a bit contrary to teaching anti-social engineering practices?
In my office all .exe, .zips etc. type of files are blocked being sent
via email and our acceptable use policy states that only certain people
can install software or executibles even on desktops.
Does this violate your security policy?
Sorry for the kinda dumb question.

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

James,
Thanks for inputs… I didn’t get you, what do you mean by “have it
initialize and advise when the user “took” the survey” ?
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.

Dinesh,
You could do it through AD and roll out a login script. If it were me
I would rather get the *.exe put on a network share, have it
initialise and advise when the user "took" the survey...Batch file
could look something like this:
CLS
@echo off
TITLE Company Survey
if not exist c:\ScriptFlag md c:\ScriptFlag
if exist \\%Server%\%Share%\%UserName%.flag
<file:///%5C%5C%25Server%25%5C%25Share%25%5C%25UserName%25.flag> goto :eof
\\%Server%\%Share%\*.exe
<file:///%5C%5C%25Server%25%5C%25Share%25%5C*.exe>
echo %date% %time% %UserName% > c:\ScriptFlag\%UserName%.flag
Copy c:\ScriptFlag\%UserName%.flag \\%Server%\%Share%\
<file:///%5C%5C%25Server%25%5C%25Share%25%5C>
EXIT
You would of course replace %Sever% and %Share% to suit.

Hi,
Our company is company with one survey which in the exe format. We
wanted to push this exe to desktops which are connected to our

environment? Any freeware tools?
