It only works (well) for programs that include an MSI installed package.

But it's not all that tough to create an MSI, especially with the new Visual
Studio MSI packager.

That is how I do things here where I work... it sometimes takes a bit to get
it to work perfectly, but it's worth the time.

The other problem with using AD to deploy software is that it only works on
Win2K and XP Pro.

In my 2154 class they talked about assigning software distributions to
OU's.  But I see here everyone is suggesting something else.

Why? Is using AD not a good idea?  (I had planned on using it, after I
learned about it in the class.)

Hello all, I was wondering if any of you had suggestions for pushing out
software to clients.  We need to be able to push out some small client
software to about 50 PC that are spread out across our WAN.  Do you know
of
any good products to accomplish this?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Collin White
