I have heard those types of thing about SMS, and I see that RIS seems to focus on deploying an entire OS. All I really need to do is install a small client (2-3MB) on about 50 desktops. Most of my users on the WAN come through via Terminal Services (Metaframe) so I don't have to worry about them, I just put it on the server and I am done. It is the various PC's out there that I don't have time to visit. SMS seems like serious overkill for this.

All the commercial stuff either had loads of features we didn't need (MS SMS), cost a fortune (MS SMS) or didn't even work properly (MS SMS). Our own is starting to show its' age but easy enough to update. I'm in the process of making it more WAN-friendly now. -----Original Message----- From: White, Collin [mailto:cwhite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 04 December 2002 15:15 To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Software Distribution 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?
