Hi Martin,
i use a tool which is named reexec
http://www.veloci.dk/index.asp?visnu=reexec/reexec.htm
if you integrate this in a computername.bat ( netlogon script ) and
build software packs which silent installs reexec will deploy the pack
out of the batch,
you can also use it later from a windows client
it needs no heavy batch coding and is very handy for smaller networks
it freeware, i just tested it with the new thunderbird release
Regards

I have Samba and about 40 WinXP Clientes running.
Now I´m trying to find a way to deploy software (for example
updates of E-Mail Client, Windows Patches) to my Clients.
I was playing around with AutoIt and some "switch-user-tools" for
windows, which really works but also is kind of complicated and time
consuming.
In my environment, every user got his own Logonscript on the Linuxserver
where I place the call for an installation (for ex Thunderbird update).
If the installation on the client succeeded, I need a feedback signal
from the user (e-mail, phone call...) that the script ran properly and I
can remove the call in this script.
I could also use one Logonscript for all users and turn on machines by
myself in the morning if a certain user is not in the office.
But all this does not seem to be the best way for me.
I´m really interested if there is another possibility to achieve this
more efficiently without buying an expensive deployment software for
Windows Server or something like that.
So far I did not have a closer look at unattended.sourceforge.net, maybe
someone has experience with that.
Thanks a lot
regards
