3.
Obtain
software to deploy
PDQ Deploy makes it very easy to deploy MSI files siliently with no
reboot after. I used the Adobe tool to create my Adobe Reader X install just
the way i wanted to before i deployed it. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950
You can also use EXE files just keep in mind you will probably need to know
the command line switches for them, for instance my silent office 2010 install
i created a custom MSP using Microsoft tools and use that in PDQ Deploy.
setup.exe /adminfile Updates/Office2010StdSP1Unattended.MSP
4.
Create
Spiceworks software report.
Unfortunately Spiceworks doesnt allow you to group machines by software
....yet ;) So i created a simple report in Spiceworks to show me all of my
machines that had Adobe Reader version 6-9 installed and exported it to a CSV
file.
5.
Import
CSV into PDQ Deploy
One you have the CSV file you can import that list into PDQ Deploy very
easily.
6.
DEPLOY!!!
Select the machines out of the list you imported (all we be selected by
default) to deploy your software to and deploy!
