Deploy Microsoft .exe hotfix via group policy

[steinooo]

hi all,

I would like to install a MS hotfix via Group Policy Object in my 2003 domain, but can't use WSUS or SMS.

The problem being the hotfix is an .exe files and GPO software installations only support .msi files.

Tried to install it via a login script but sadly the hotfix doesn't run in due to the user's not having permission to install things I think.

Also tried Wininstall LE but never very good with those.

Anyone got any ideas please?

blimey thats a very generous offer indeed! Thank you very much.

I'll continue reading up on startup scripts tonight....not thought of those before but just come across them, apparently they take the credentials of the system rather than the user which could do what I want, failing that, I may take you up on that via an email to you or replying to this!
