Does anyone know how to deploy IE7 silently using SMS 2003?

 

Doesn't it work with this commnd line: IE_explorer_name.exe /quiet /update-no /norestart

I tried it the way that you were saying and it does install IE7 without user interaction or restarting the computer, but after it's installed and the only way to tell it's installed is check add/remove program. If you try to launch Internet Explorer it doesn't come up and it keeps adding shortcuts on your desktop till I restart the computer then it works fine.

You can use Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to customise the IE as per the requirement and deploy it Via SMS. Check this link on IEAK http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/bb219524

OK I ended up finding a script to install IE7 except I can't get the message box to popup at the end to have the user restart their computer. Can anyone tell me if I have the code wrong at the end?

Dim WshSHell, oEnv

Dim sAllUsersProfilePath, sLocaldirectory, strComputer

 

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

sAllUsersProfilePath = WshShell.Environment("PROCESS").Item("ALLUSERSPROFILE")

set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

 

sLocalDirectory = objFSO.GetFile(WScript.ScriptFullName).ParentFolder

 

'Removes "Open File - Security Warning" check

set oEnv = WshShell.Environment("PROCESS")

oEnv("SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS") = 1
