EMCO Remote Installer
emcosoftware.com
What it is
EMCO Remote Installer centrally audits software and deploys packages across Windows PCs on a local network. It can remotely install, uninstall and repair EXE, MSI and MSP packages, with silent, parallel deployments that do not require client software preinstalled on target PCs. Administrators can select computers directly or build dynamic targets using domains, workgroups, computer names, organizational units, operating systems or installed software. The inventory stores operating system and application information centrally and can track changes between scans. Deployments can combine multiple install, uninstall or repair steps with custom actions before or after; Professional users can save reusable deployment and audit tasks for manual or scheduled one-time and recurring runs. The Free Edition costs nothing and supports up to 5 remote PCs at a time and up to 5 packages per multi-step deployment. Professional Edition (Single Copy) costs $399, paid once, plus tax or VAT depending on country, for a perpetual version 6 license. Professional Edition (Unlimited Copies) costs $595, paid once. Remote deployment requires administrative Windows accounts, standard Windows networking services and corresponding network ports to be open.
