Hello Well on balance it is at least for now going quite well here at SMRT Bristol as far as Fusion goes. OK the standalaone installer is quite big but we have now have i5s as well and they seem fine. I ordered one graphics card to test as was led to believe they were required in every PC with Fusion (about 30 in our case) but fortunately in the end didn't even open the box and sent it back no charge. I tried the updating path as suggested by Autodesk's relevant support page but in the end gave up with it and after some trial and error used the bat/cmd file (as below) in SCCM that is a bit lacking in finesse but I think works. SCCM uses the version file that is copied over to detect successful install / update. I am a beginner at scripting and don't go near powershell but the process I used may help you. Of course you have to update the installer exe and flag file and change the install detection file name for each update but it is quite quick. Thanks, Matthew ECHO OFFIF EXIST "c:\program files\Autodesk" GOTO PROCUPDstart %~dp0Fusion360AdminInstall.exe --globalinstall --quietGOTO MKFLG:PROCUPDrmdir "c:\program files\Autodesk" /Q /Sstart %~dp0Fusion360AdminInstall.exe --globalinstall --quiet:MKFLGxcopy %~dp0ver2012157.txt c:\fusionversion\ /i /y

Hello I have found Edugeek helpful over the years but have only just started posting after a long break. The previous message was months ago I know, but anyway.. I'm based at a large secondary in Bristol. We use Fusion 360 in D.T. generally successfully as afar as student accounts go. Keeping up with updates is a pain and I have had mixed success running an update script to the 40 or so machines via SCCM. Please reply for more info on how we do things here. I am a bit unsure about upgrading our desktops to a better spec to support running Fusion well and whether to splash out on graphics / video cards .. I've had a look at the minimum spec on Autodesk support but not really any lightbulbs going on - any advice would be appreciated please
