installing a program to multiple workstations at same time

[Guest tuuf]

I have win2k server and 10 win2k workstations. I want to install a windows

automatic shutdown program on the workstations. Can I bulk install this

program to all the workstations? Or could I install this program on the

server and have it run the functionality on all the workstations?

You can see a GPO for software distribution. But it will look for an MSI. Is

the file you want to roll out an exe, bat or something else? Application

manufacturers in many cases provide an MSI for their software in additon to

the exe's. You can also create an MSI from an exe with various tools out

there.
