remote deployment from linux to windows

[Christopher Chisholm]

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for deploying windows software 
from a linux system to a range of windows systems which would most 
likely be on a windows domain with a standard domain account that would 
have full install permissions.

The idea is that my company's software would be a standard .msi type of 
package, and we could have a single linux system that says "okay, i want 
the IP range 192.168.100.50 - 192.168.100.200 to install this".  The 
theory is to have a cheap deployment tool.  I've been googling all day 
but haven't found much about this subject.  Does anyone have any ideas 
about this, even just some keywords or protocols I can search for more 
information?

Thanks!
