Has anyone used psexec to remotely deploy Win2K SP4 to
Win2K Pro machines?

We currently have an NT4 domain with Win2k clients so are
looking at automated SP deployment.

We use psexec to deploy hotfixes, but can this be used for
remote SP deployment?

Yes, I've just installed it on one machine. First of all I tried:-

psexec \\comp -s -d -c W2KSP4_EN.EXE -q -n -z -u

W2KSP4_EN.EXE was copied to the target, but terminated immediately
atfer being launched by psexec.

I so ran:-

psexec \\comp -s -d W2KSP4_EN.EXE -u -x:c:\sp4

and that extracted the files ok. Then I ran:-

psexec \\comp -s -d c:\sp4\i386\update\update -q -n -z -u

After restarting everything seems fine. I don't know why the first
command failed though.
