Nicholas,
Despite what has been said so far on this it is important to mention
that there can be issues if you have the UI in the package. When/if
you run the install remotely, it is run in non-interactive mode which
has been know to have issues.
For example:
You connect to a remote machine, copy over the install, execute it.
First time someone logs in, they may get a C++ runtime error in the UI
itself. This is because it runs in the context of the currently
logged in user (and no one was logged in for the install), so the
process was already running at first login. It is merely a cosmetic
issue though - UI launches at end end of install, so the binaries
themselves should be fine - reboot and all is well.
ISS is aware of the issue and it may be addressed in the future, but
since this form of agent dispersal is not the ISS default method, it
is not a high priority.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response David and Heather , I have the two executable's
generated for both the field clients and for the office users. Question
(if you have done this) Are you using active directory to push these out
or are you just creating a batch script to run on boot up. If the second
applies can you show me what your batch file looks like for reference
.......
Again
Thank you

Of course, in fact, I suspect most people do it remotely. Once you
generate the .exe file for a particular group all that has to happen is
that .exe must be run on every system. If you can remotely launch an
.exe file then yes you can install remotely.

Have any of you successfully installed the blackice client on remote PC
's ?
I would rather NOT have to install this manually on 250+ PC and remote
users.
Thanks in advance
Nick
