Can anyone help with a script that will run an installer with the administrator pass?

Hey All,

 

A company we work with is upgrading it's server infrastructure (cloud based) which our meds software runs from and they've given us a weeks notice to install a new program (exe file) across all our computers. We are quite big with 11 premises and over 2,000 users. We only have an IT Team of 2 and this is quite a large project to go around manually to all the machines and manually upgrade them with the administrator credentials.

 

Is there a script or similar that any of you guys know which would run the installer as administrator with the admin credentials so they could install that one application themselves? The computers that are used for the meds software are not domain joined so we can't distribute it easily using the normal channels.

 

Thanks everyone!

the free version of PDQ deploy might work, you can manually pick what username and password you want it to use.

If there's a way of contacting the computers remotely then psexec might work with local admin details assuming the password is the same and they don't have the ports blocked. If not i'd probably give them the local admin and have them run a script to join Azure or install some kind of remote management software then change all the local admins , use LAPS etc, couldn't get much worse

 

Some antivirus management tools can install software remotely as well.

Ansible. You just need a list of ip addresses/hostnames and it will run all the tasks in parallel.

It's free, simple to use.
