Force software installation

[Scotta98]

Hello,

I would like to be able to force a software installation to all of the workstations instead of installing one by one. I am running Win2K3 server, xp pro & 2000 pro workstations. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

If you are running a domain on your windows 2003 server, you can distribute your software as .msi files through group policies to your end users (aka: clients). They (clients) will then initiate the installation of the software, when they log on to your domain.

Thanks for the reply. Can you elaborate on how to do this in group policies? Thanks.

For example, how would I distribute XP SP2? WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU
