On Microsoft Windows systems that are connected to a Domain Controller, Network Administrators may configure the Domain Controller to push applications to all computers in a certain scope (a group of computers, a group of users, or any reasonable combination thereof).

In summary, to install applications on multiple computers at once in an Active Directory network, a Network Administrator needs to log into the Domain Controller, create a Group Policy Object that defines the scope (that is, group of users or computers it should apply to) that directs that computer to install the software when a user logs in. This is the most efficient way to install an application on multiple computers using only Microsoft technology.

There are numerous third party applications available that can provide this sort of functionality on a local network without the need for a Domain Controller. These applications range from free to hundreds of dollars, and come with varying features and limitations. Should one decide to go this route, it is advisable that due diligence is done before purchasing or downloading a solution that may not work for your scenario.


In either event, if the number of computers involved is less than the time it would take to configure a Domain Controller to push the installation, or installing third party software on all computers, then configuring a server to push the installers, it would more intuitive to simply install the software manually on all the computers involved.
