EMCO Remote Installer is a centralized software management and network audit tool designed for IT administrators to deploy installations across a local area network (LAN). It functions as a lightweight alternative to complex systems like Microsoft SCCM. The software enables parallel, unattended “push” installations and software inventory tracking across Windows environments. Core Features
Silent Remote Deployment: Installs or uninstalls MSI, MSP, and EXE packages across multiple endpoints simultaneously without requiring user interaction on the target machines.
Automatic Agent Management: Pushes an internal administrative service to target machines automatically during deployment, requiring no manual client pre-installation.
Software Inventory Audits: Scans the network to build a database of all installed applications and OS updates, helping administrators track version history and software changes.
Dynamic Targeting: Uses conditions based on Active Directory Organizational Units (OUs), workgroups, or existing software versions to automatically define target PCs.
Multi-Step Actions: Chains complex deployment processes together, such as uninstalling an older version of a application before pushing the update.
Execution Scheduling: Schedules deployments to run during maintenance windows or off-peak hours. System & Network Requirements
To execute remote installations successfully, the host network must meet standard Windows administrative configurations:
Permissions: Account credentials must possess local or domain administrator rights on all target endpoints. Network Protocols: NetBIOS over TCP/IP must be enabled.
Shares: Access to standard administrative hidden shares (ADMIN$) and File/Printer sharing must be turned on.
Firewall Ports: TCP ports 135, 139, and 445, along with UDP ports 137 and 138, must be opened. Supported Formats & Customization
While standardized MSI and MSP packages naturally support silent parameters, legacy executable setups (EXE) require custom command-line switches to suppress user interface prompts. For highly complex or uncooperative legacy files, administrators often pair the software with the EMCO MSI Package Builder to repackage interactive installations into fully automated, silent installers.
