netstaller™ uses
windows installer msi packages technology, which is included with all
windows 2000 and xp operating systems and 90% of
windows 9x pcs. all a
system administrator has to do is to install netstaller™ on his own
computer (server) and indicate which computers have to be included in installation or
removal list (or select all computers checkbox). the
program can install any
application (supplied in msi package) remotely. there is no need to walk over to each workstation, create new groups, modify group policies or pre-install any “helper software”, like installation agents. network users will not be aware of the process, which will be running in background. in fact, even if a user lacks the installation privileges, netstaller™ will overrule it and install the
program anyway by using
administrator rights. the
program removes
pc applications in a similar manner. in organizations,
computer networks are rapidly growing and the problem of installing or uninstalling
software on them is a true nightmare for a
system administrator. when it comes to installing (or removing) new
application to multiple network computers,
system administrators’ heartbeat rate jumps up. really, this operation is often times a logistical nightmare. walking over to each
computer is impractical and often impossible, so the administrators either install
applications to all network computers, even if some users don’t need them, create new group policies or even go as far as creating their own custom
programs or scripts.
