How to install software in multiple computers at the same time using windows server 2003?

I would like to install a software in all my computers ( 6 ) how do i do this all at the same time? or do i have to install it all manually?

Considering you will have to deploy a software for 6 units,...the safest and best way is to manually install it. But if you choose to, you can let Active Directory or SMS do the installation but you must have the .msi installer.

To properly setup and package software for distribution via Active Directory or SMS would probably take at least an hour - more like a few hours - for EACH title. It makes sense to do an AD software install if you have 15-20+ clients... but for 6, you're probably better off with going to each machine and manually doing it.



If you have 6 identical machines and you want the software on each to be identical, you could setup ONE system COMPLETELY, then create an image using Acronis (www.acronis.com) or similar product and then put that image onto each system - just remember to use Sysprep right before you create the image so you don't end up with SID conflicts.
sorry for the crappy incomplete answer...



do it remotely using the the main one. I've seen it done before but i dont know how they did it. At least you know you dont have to do them separately. and if you figure it out, let me know =)
