Re: Local Admin on workstation

I wouldn't make them admin for 15 installs...

don't you have WSUS ? you may push it through i think

You could use psexec but you first need to make a silent install

Hello,
except making them local admin through restricted group in GPO, they won't
be able to install software.

You may use GPO to deploy software (best if MSI) through GPO without making
them admin.

You may also just use psexec to make a silent install remotely..

How many PC / which software?
