Multiple computers

[Guest]

I help a non-profit organization in my area that turns around and offers tech
support to other non-profits...

Is their a faster way to install the program without having to go through
the whole setup..

Organizations have 5 - 20 computers each..


Thanks

Dave

Nope. If you want to experiment, I have a very old script for an unattended
install which was posted by another user here, and an unattended uninstall:
---------------------
Unattended uninstall:

The command should be:
MsiExec.exe /X {536F7C74-844B-4683-B0C5-EA39E19A6FE3} -qn

If you want a log file ... (note: no space between the /L
and its parameters (ime))

MsiExec.exe /X {536F7C74-844B-4683-B0C5-
EA39E19A6FE3} /Lime c:\temp\msas.log -qn

(from lori)

Unattended Install:

---------------------------

I've not tested either of these first hand, and not had feedback about them
in many months.

I strongly recommend not deploying this app en masse in a managed
environement. However, I work with the same clients you do (hope we aren't
in the same town!)--and I put it on every machine.

Bill,

Thanks for the information..

I will use it carefully...

BTW, I am located in Columbus, OH....

Let me know how it goes. With my clients, I try to set up wake-on-lan, and
use Remote Desktop to the servers, combined with WOL to work on machines
outside working hours. I can work through a dozen or so machines more
quickly than I could on site during working hours.

(and I'm in Philadelphia, PA--so we aren't competing!)
