Hi all. I haven't really been introduced to writing batch files, but could someone post some example code of a batch file that would install programs automatically? I work with computer repair & we install a few different files on each machine, but we always install Spybot S&D, Windows Defender, SP3, etc etc. It sure would save me hours if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

A much better option would be to use wpkg.

You might also want to take a look at OCSNG in addition to wpkg.

We use both for maintaining the software installations in our network of 6,000+ computers spread across 35 locations.

Is this an Active Directory environment? If so, you could use a Group Policy Object to push them to client systems.
