We are using Admin Studio 7.5 to perform COTS installations and
configurations. Our ultimate goal is an automated installation for a
complex system of servers. Each server would have an install "package"
(multiple MSI's) that would be pushed once the O/S was laid down (using
ADS).
configurations. Our ultimate goal is an automated installation for a

(multiple MSI's) that would be pushed once the O/S was laid down (using

Several of the COTS packages we are working with (Remedy, Documentum,
etc) use a Windows thin-client to connect / configure / upgrade a UNIX
server back-end that houses application binaries and database elements.
What is the general concensus on the best way to approach this type of
installation? Are there tools available to help us automate the
installation and configuration of complex applications like these?

There are solutions out there for complex application
management/deployment, like HP's OpenView or Altiris. They allow to
monitor a set of workstations and/or servers and schedule certain tasks
to be executed based on predefined scenarios. One drawback - they don't
come cheap.
