thanks

Great.

Have a look at below docs, it will help you to get it done easily.

Invoke-Command, read it full it will help you. Then have a look at example 9 in that link as well.

Only after you finish it, look at below link.

Powershell: Remote install software (powershellexplained.com)

As you say you’re in a domain environment, sometimes the easiest solution doesn’t involve PS at all:

I thought the same as you @jlogan3o13, however, he mentions “with ini file” and did not want to walk him down the path of using Orca to set up a manifest file to get that done.

yes that’s obviously a wise idea.
problem is, i don’t have the required permissions to do so.
however, i have gotten PS & psexec permissions so im working in that direction…

thanks

Hmm … if you don’t have the permissions to implement a GPO, how is it you can run a script that requires admin on 50+ computers? I am just curious.

yes weird but that’s how it goes at the moment :slight_smile:

How about a little more information, please, to help us help you :wink:

Are these physical machines or VMs?
OS?
Installing as the logged in user or a service account/SYSTEM?
