Is the domain NTLM or Active Directory?
If Active Directory, use Group Policy to deploy the software. You
can still host the MSI on a Linux Samba server if that's needed for
whatever reason.
If you're still stuck with with an NTLM domain... you could prolly
do it with a logon script, so long as the Windows account being logged
on to has the needed privileges on the local Windows machine. This
would work for both a MS Windows NT Domain Controller as well as a
Samba Domain Controller.
If you need help with either option, just post to let us know which
one, and I'll give what I can. :)
