I need to install a piece of software on a mass amount of machines but here lays the problem;
The machines are not attached to a domain and are standalone...

I can't use Group Policy as their not attached to a domain.
I could use WMIC to install the software on multiple machines from a list but this would envolve me copying the software to each an every machine due to WMIC not liking UNC paths (without heavy scripting of course - but a bit beyond me)

The other options would be;
Visit each machine and manually install software.
Domain the machines and use Group Policy...

Anything else that could do what I need it too?
 
Funnily enough, the software I want to deploy is the agent for some remote deployment software that we use :D
The problem is that I can't get the deployment software to "see" the machines unless the machines have the agent installed on them.
