automate software installation

[Guest inenewbl]

Hi all. Can anyone give me a sample script on how to automate software

installation upon login to domain. I would like to place this login script to

the profile tab of a particular user in my domain environment. The

installation file would exist on the shared folder of my file server. Thks in

advance.

Hello inenewbl,

 

If you have .msi as a software package you can use softwaredistribution with

GPO, which also allows you to remove it easy for users or computers. Or you

can create your own packages for this.

Hi Weber,

 

Thk you for the prompt response. But i would like to install the application

for only 1 user and think that creating a batch file and specifying it in the

profile tab is better. If i have a software with extension .exe, can it be

converted into msi package?
