Oracle10g push via LanDesk
I am trying to push the Oracle 10g installer to remote machines via LanDesk. I have the install files and a silentinstall batch file that install the software perfectly if I manually copy the install files to the remote machine and then run the silentinstall batch file from the machine. I am looking for tips as to automating that copy of files and silentinstall.bat via LanDesk.

You could just get the batch file to copy to %temp%, since its triggered by the SYSTEM(?) account, it will just copy to the SYSTEMS temp which is in C:\Windows\Temp.
I always recommend you use a environmental variable, as its C:\Windows is not always the OS install.
Might need to change the batch to reference the %temp%, but should do the job.
If you need the files to be persistent, maybe use another local - best to so this if you have CAB files and you need to do selfheals or repairs, as I know LANDesk does not handle Windows Installer sourcing for you.
We don't use LanDesk so I cannot speak to this part; we are using KACE.
This is my batch it runs. Hope you find some nuggets:
