Remote Installation of Applications/Software (Unattended)

Hi There,

Got a couple of hundred laptops which we have to keep up-to-date with various applications.

Am looking for a program which will allow me to remotely install virtually any software (like Office) unattended.

I'm aware of the numerous programs out there on the web, but I'd much rather have some recommendations from you guys. Preferably a free solution, but paid is ok.

I don't want to go along the GP route in AD, I'd much rather use a piece of software.
I've done a bit of reading and looks like I'll need to get to grips with MSI.

Any help appreciated :D

You didn't mention that it has to be freeware, so you can try http://www.installsolutions.net/RSIOverview.aspx

Freeware is the most ideal solution given the financial status in the UK but sure i could twist my managers arm for a low cost application.
Thanks, morsun, I'll have a look at those.

If anyone's got any other recommendations (esp. if you've used them) do say :)
