An automated installation tool that works on Windows 7?

Question

Automation

We use samba 3.5.6 (NT4 domain) , so do not offer tools for deploying applications based on Active Directory - save me and your time.
psexec works fine under XP, but never got it to work under Windows 7. Are there alternatives that have been tested by your personal experience?
update:
found a great solution with the ability to hide the password - runasspc.
psexec taught to work. UAC needs to be disabled

Answer 1

It all depends on which usb the domain on samba is made through. The simplest option is to distribute a script to users in a startup with the launch of the installation from a network drive. Somewhere I ran under Windows runas, to which you can feed the password with the key.

Answer 2

Do you like to create difficulties for yourself first, and then heroically overcome them?

Answer 3

You can look towards Desktop Central from ManageEngine. It is a simple analogue of Microsoft SCCM, allows you to remotely install programs and updates, for small infrastructures it is free.

Answer 4

Psexec works great under the seven.
