I've got 20 windows desktop machines in a lab on a samba network. Throughout the semester instructors usually find some software they want installed. Has anyone come up with a good way to push out files to all these machines? I've seen demos of software management in Windows 2003. Or any inexpensive commercial product for software management for networks that are not Windows AD? I think I've seen some setup using .rhost files in windows. Thanks, Anne
Symantec's Ghost Autoinstaller, works great. Chris Anne wrote:>I've got 20 windows desktop machines in a lab on a samba network.
