pdq deploy deploy software and patches quickly
use pdq deploy to install applications and patches to all the computers in your company.
point a pdq deploy package to the install files (msi, exe) and you're ready to deploy.
subscribers to the package library have access to premade packages ready to deploy.
install msi's to multiple computers
need to install an msi? just create a new pdq package and point it to the msi. if the installation has more than a single msi file, be sure to check the "include entire directory" checkbox.
install exe's to multiple computers
need to install an exe? all you need to do is verify that the application can be installed silently. (by default msi's have this ability, but exe's need to be explicity told to run silently). not every exe supports this feature, but most do.
the challenge will be to determine the correct method to run it silently. the silent parameter (sometimes called a switch) can be /s or /s, /q or /q, /quiet, /qn, and a host of other options. sometimes the installations are case senstive, so be sure to use exactly what the vendor states is the correct switch.
readytodeploy installs in the package library
we created the package library so that our users wouldn't have to spend time with every java or flash update that comes down the pike. when you subscribe to our package library you can get common apps that are already in pdq packages, and are ready for deploying to all your computers. see the full list of readytogo installs.
customize your installs
with pdq deploy you can install just about any application or patch just by pointing a pdq deploy package to an exe or msi. you can also make changes to the packages that you downloaded from the package library.
