I need to be able to push some software to a remote pc and want to do
so silently. I was wondering how I could do this without third party
software. I have windows 2000 pro on all computers. I want to do this
to push some management tools that I have. Any help would be
appreciated.

Hi

You could maybe copy the file(s) to the remote computer using the admin shares
on the remoter computer (\\computername\c$) and then use WMI to start a install
process on the remote computer

Script Center: Create a Process on a Remote Computer

Another option is to use some some freeware:

Take a look at PsExec.exe in the free PsTools suite, found at
http://www.sysinternals.com

PsExec can even automatically copy a file over to the remote computer
before it starts it.


Another freeware program with similar merits to PsExec is Beyondexec.

Beyondexec also have multiple computer functionality.
