Hi,

At a previous employer (now gone), we had migrated from Novell to
Windows servers with Win2k and WinXP cilents, the clients were there
before the move from Novell.

As part of joining the domain, we would reboot the client, and on the
starting up screen (where Windows tells you its initializing the
network, etc) you would see it saying Installing Outlook 2003, and
Outlook would be installed before the computer finishes booting.

I know there were some limits; only MSI files could be installed, etc.


I have some software (namely, the .Net framework) that I'd like to push
out at my current employer, but I don't know what this feature is
called, or where to begin looking for it. I think Group policy comes
into play, but beyond that I'm not sure where to start.

Anyone willing to let me in on the secret?

Thanks
Andy
