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.

Re: automate software installation

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?
