Deploy Customer Software over WAN - 10.Jul.2008 4:56:27 PM

Status: offline 		It’s ineffecient and impractical to install larger patches from the NSS server to multiple workstations that are on the other side of a slow WAN link. Is it possible to copy a patch once to a server on the remote LAN and have it installed to all the remote workstations from there?
 
Main office NSS server -----wan link----->LAN B Server ----->PC1,  PC2, PC3 

I thought I could use the deploycmd.exe, run it on LAN B server to deploy to PC1, 2, 3, etc. But no joy, as the executable has many undocumented dependancies.

Thanks.

Status: offline 		Are these Microsoft patches being deployed, or custom software?  If this is custom software you could copy the package onto a remote share on the remote site, then run a carefully crafted batch file which points the machines to this package.

Status: offline 		I arrived at the same conclusion since my initial post.

I wrote a seperate batch file to stage patches (non-MS) to the remote servers. I deploy across the WAN another batch file via NSS that copies the patch from the closest server to a local folder on the PC then run the silent install for the patch from the local folder. Works great, once I figured out to deploy the batch file as an administrator with logon as service permissions.
