[http://sds.imatic.cz/ SDS] - This project can "push" software to client workstations. It was inspired by Unicenter/SMS, however the big advantage is that it does not need a client on the target system. Currently, the engine is "almost finished" but the disadvantage is that you must use a command line interface. A GUI is in the works.
Features:
* Automated installation of software/running commands
* Doesn't need a client on target computer
* Uses the push method, so you dont need to wait till user log in. Also you can install software when noone is logged on target system.
* Completely free including source code
* No installation required - I personally got my SDS Server on my USB flash disk ;)
* Online/Offline check - SDS will wait till computer is available and automatically install requested software.
* Support for
** Commands (Restart_PC...)
** Installations (Office2003...)
** Groups (install Office2003, latest SP and restart computer)
removed SDS - project is dead
* Allows simultaneous installation of different classes of systems, e.g. Windows XP Pro for a Computing Lab, Windows XP pro for a laptop, Windows XP Pro for a Staff person.
