    Sysinternals : PsExec

    Hoping some one with a bit more knowledge then myself can confirm something for us.

    In my job we have situations that need us to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, now we want to cut donw on issue and work needed to do this.

    Looking at PsExec it looks like it would do the job so i was wondering if the below comand would be the correct command to run to do this

    psexec.exe <\\hostname of pc we want to copy the file to> –c FileFormatConverters.exe /quiet

    any thoughts ?

    Personally I'd be using Group Policy to push this out, rather than making use of PSExec.

    I agree

    The command would be

    psexec.exe -c -f -d \\hostname FileFormatConverters.exe /passive /quiet

    You could be fancy and use this little batch I wrote

    Code:
    @echo off
    echo.
    echo Please Enter The Remote PC's Hostname
    echo. 
    Set /P hname=
    
    CLS
    
    Echo Please Wait...
    
    psexec.exe -c -f -d\\&#37;hname% fileformatconverters.exe /quiet /passive
    save it as install.bat and make sure its in the same folder as both your psexec.exe and fileformatconverters.exe and that you are logged in as domain admin.

    I think if you run some fancy extract command on the fileformatconverters.exe it will extract into one big MSI file that you can then deploy by GPO
    GPO is the way to go with an app this size

    For some really weak reason it has never been available via WSUS to download and deploy - which would have been an ideal deployment solution for this microsoft tool!
