Pushing out fonts through policy?

[Arnold]

Is it possible to push out new fonts to any Windows 2000 workstations
through AD and group policies? I'm sure making an .msi package is one
way, but I don't want to go through the hassle of making a package for
each font I add in the future.

Thanks

Arnold-

Making the MSI or some sort of script are the only two options i know of.
The MSI one shouldn't really be that hard...

How do you make a msi file?

Do you have to buy InstallShield or something like that?

 

[Arnold]

You can use the WinInstall LE that came with Windows 2000 Server. If
anyone knows how to add fonts from the command prompt, I can put that
into a script. Creating an .msi for each font will be a bit of a
pain.

all you have to do to add from the command prompt is to
copy them to the local computers c:\windows\fonts

ei

copy f:\server-fs1\font_share\*.* c:\windows\fonts
