Updating Smartboard software across the network

[tosca925]

We install Smartboard software on all staff laptops as part on the RIS image. Our downfall is when they get notified by the software that there is a update available.

 

The staff are not allowed to download anything while on the Internet and have no access to the c:drive to install anything while on the network.

 

Is there any way to deploy the update across the network to the laptops via GPO.

If you do a fresh admin install of the newer version via GPO does it over write the current one or does it install a separate version,

 

Any advice?

It should install over the old version I would have thought. It would need a little tweaking with an MST to stop it nagging about updates. Im sure someone could help you with that.

Beware: I thought the latest was a *major* update and unlike the old one the library stuff comes separately etc.

The latest update is actually a bugfix to the first 9.5 issue. Normally you would have to remove any old installation before installing the new but the bug fix update can be installed over a current version of 9.5
