Re: Automating Application Deployment

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

osdswdexec app deploy queries the SMS database for packages, you specify the
packageID and program name is CS.ini, osdswdexec queries the SMS database
and retrieves the cmdline for the package

so you need it :-) replace the entries with your servername/sharename and
SMS DB name and be sure to grant select permissions to the V_Program table
for your installation account
