Free Software Deployment application

Hey Admins,

Admin Arsenal (where I work) just released a free software deployment application called PDQ Deploy. If you need to deploy software feel free to use this app. We would love to hear your thoughts, good and bad, on your experiences.

You can get more info here.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled admin duties...

Hey Shane,

Talk about well timed! I'm just going through all of our 50+ deployment packages and wondering how the heck I'm going to do this going forward. :) lol

One question - PDQ Deploy ..... is that a remote installation app or can you use it via GPO or at machine startup?

Cheers,

Tim/.

It's a remote installation app. You can deploy to targets based off of Active Directory Organization Units, Text files (listing target computers or Admin Arsenal collections.

Basically, you select your deployment file(s), provide the arguments and send it off to your targets.
