How does one deploy new Keyboard drivers to 200 computers on a network?

Yes, I need to deploy a new Dell SK-3106 Keyboard/CAC reader driver over a network to 200 different computers; however, the problem is that I have not solid effective way of doing so as of yet. This is where I need help. The best option that we have so far is remote in to each system and manually install the driver on each machine; is there a more automated way of doing this project rather than going to PC to PC to make it happen?

This all depends on the configuration of your network. if you are running a Microsoft Active Directory or domain, to which all these computers are members of - you can push out this update either through Group Policy or through WMI. If you're lucky enough to have SMS, this is another option.



At the most basic level, you can batch install this via the users login script.



If none of these are an option - then I would build the driver installation using one of the effected models into an MSI package. Email the package out so it's just a double click to install it. This requires user interaction - but not much work on the back end.



Best of luck.
