NAV 7.6 and Win 2K

[hbgpensfan]

I'm not sure in what thread to post this. I have new servers that are going to be rolled into use early next year. I'm currently working on setting them up ahead of time and when I went to install NAV 7.6 it require IE 5.5 or higher. The problem I run into is everywhere I go to download it has the "windows update" type install. My servers are not connected to the internet yet. Is there anywhere I can download the full program once and then deploy in to our users instead of downloading it on each individual machine?
Thanks-

Using Windows Update, no you can't.

You might want to do a search for the IE administration kit on Microsoft's site to get a customizable IE for your network.

There is also the corporate windows download site to check out.

Sorry I don't have the links handy for you.

Bill ,

Another thing you could try is getting the actual Media from Microsoft. I am alomst positive I have seen that option on microsoft.com

hbgpensfan,

I work with a mixed environment of Win2k server and NT 4.0 sp6. I also run NAV 7.6 (started with 7.0) and never have I been prompted to have IE 5.5. Did you get a prompt or something? I don't get prompts on Win95/98 clients, either.

I have a central anti-virus server to run the MMC for NAV and distribute updates and virus definitions. I "push" the installs to NT and Win2k machines from that server and some only have IE 5.0 or even 4.0! Our Sysadmin is SLOW to upgrade...or is it lazy? hehe not my problem

Just wondering what you have encountered with your installs.

Good point, hpgpensfan.

I never considered it because we run at least IE 5.5 anyway (IE 6 if we can help it).

My only main problem with pushing to Win 2k clients is if they don't have the ADMIN share installed, which denies the use of the remote install features... Once I get that established it works fine, although I have problems with some computers losing their shares (and I know that the user isn't taking them down). J.R. Juiliano
