My domain runs on sbs2003 premium. &nbsp;My clients are mostly Windows 7, with a few XPs... &nbsp;I have a program that a couple of people need that MUST have a CD in the drive to work. &nbsp;I have already determined that it works just fine mounting an iso of that CD using a network path to a client, provided the virtual cd program is installed on the client machines. &nbsp;I have made it work using both magicdisc and poweriso. &nbsp;The problem is that its not feasible to physically walk to each machine to install the virtual cd software and then mount the iso.<br />
<br />
I'm looking for any suggestions to deploy the virtual cd software (which is not available as an msi) across the network, and THEN use a script to mount the iso when the user logs on (if its not already mounted).... &nbsp;Any suggestions at all? &nbsp;I know it can be done using a script, but I am not good with scripts at all so if you can either show me the code to do what I want or send me to a REALLY GOOD link where I can get something that would be great. &nbsp;Or is there an easier way?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Mount an iso to a virtual drive using group policy/scripting

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
