EV Client Automation

Been pulling my hair out with this for a couple of weeks now.

Is there anyway of automatin the client install via GPO or SCCM? I've tried the msiexex /a option from a share but my users dont have admin rights to install, SCCM just doesn't seem to like the EV MSI at all.

Anyone else done this with any success?

    Yup, been there, done that... You can deploy via GPO... deploy via computer container level. My customer had just also deployed via SCCM as well...

    Any insights in how to deploy via GPO, we've tried with the standard MSI and it just appears that nothing happens

    No because the user doesn't have the admin rights to install. Using run as also doesn't work as you have to put the password in everytime (cant be scripted)

    The client is already MSI, no need to tranform or do anything. See this technote....http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302430, deploy to computer instead to users or groups.

    It's not easy to implemented, but if you don't have admin right you can use sudowin at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sudowin

    Hi can definitely deploy it with GPO and SCCM.
    We are using SCE 2007, and it works out of the box with the standard MSI.

    As Patrick mentioned, are you deploying to the computers or to the users?
    You should deploy to computers.

    Cheers

    if you deploy at Computer Level, it uses the System account to install :) the rights is there automatically....

    cheers!
