Install Software Across Your Estate From One Console

Visiting every desk to install software does not scale. SimpleHelp lets you package installers as Toolbox tools and run them across as many machines as you need, then check exactly where they succeeded.

How remote software deployment works

Remote software deployment sends an installer and the command to run it to each target machine, runs it silently and reports the outcome. With SimpleHelp, the installer is bundled with a tool, so the same tool can be reused for new machines and future updates.

Deploy with confidence

Use the Toolbox to deploy software repeatably and verify the outcome.

Bundle the installer

Add installers as tool resources or download them from a URL at run time, with a working directory to cache large files.

Run silently, in bulk

Run the install across a group without interrupting users, choosing whether it runs as the service user or the logged-in user.

Check where it worked

Use return codes and output to see which machines succeeded and re-run on the rest.

Deploy SimpleHelp too

Use Mass Deployment to push the Remote Access Service itself to machines on your network.

Rolling out a new application to every office

A company adopts a new collaboration application. IT builds a tool with the installer and silent install command, tests it on a pilot group, then runs it across every office overnight. The next morning, they re-run it only on the machines that were offline.

Your questions, answered

Does it work on Mac and Linux?

Yes. Build tools for each target operating system using the appropriate package and script.

Can I deploy large installers efficiently?

Yes. Download installers from a URL at run time, and use a working directory so resources are downloaded once and cached.

Is this a replacement for full patch management?

SimpleHelp Toolbox is well suited to scripted software deployment and updates. It is not a dedicated patch approval and compliance system.
