I need to deploy Express Meter Client to 200 workstations with SMS. How can this be accomplished?

dfturner - don't know how to deploy it with SMS but I used the login batch file below which worked fine in a mixed win95/98/NT environment. Note the express meter client software was placed on an L:\express drive.

@echo off
cls
:: check that SMS.INI has been created
if not exist c:\sms.ini goto insms
goto checkexp
echo Please wait Installing Express Meter ....
:insms
l:\express\clients\gensmsid.exe

:: Check which OS they are using - assumes that OS and SYSTEMROOT
:: variables are set in Windows NT Workstation.
:checkexp
if "%OS%."=="Windows_NT." goto winnt
goto win9x

:win9x
:: Check that express meter has been installed - if not install it
if not exist c:\windows\system\excli32.exe goto inexpress
goto end

:inexpress
echo Installing Windows 9x version of Express Meter ...
l:\express\clients\exinst.exe
goto end

:winnt
:: Check that express meter has been installed - if not install it
if not exist %systemroot%\system32\excli32.exe goto inntexpre
goto end

:inntexpre
echo Installing Windows NT version of Express Meter ...
l:\express\clients\exinst32.exe

:end
echo Update Complete, Thankyou

Hope this helps.

Hi, did you ever get this deployed? We have SMS 2.0,
We would like to use our WRQ Express Meter and use
the most current version of this proudct.  Please
advise if you had success and if you used the SMS
servers to collect the data - This would allow our SMS
servers to collect WRQ/SMS data?  I understand the latest
version of WRQ being a Client/Server version for NT.
We are still on Novell - but moving off quickly.

Thanks!
