Deploy from workstation to workstation

Does anyone know which group I can browse in order to learn how to deploy software across workstations?

I have no clue on how this is done, what I would like to learn is how to write your own program that will remotely install software from your workstation to other workstations across the network.

There are programs out there that does it, but there is always something missing or not running properly in those programs.

Thanks.

Software deployment can be done in a number of ways. When you package your application as a MSI file, you can deploy it to remote machines via PowerShell, command line, or a deployment application. If you want to use a free solution to do this, you can look at this option:

If you use Active Directory, you can also use Group Policy (free and already installed on your domain).
