How to manage PAD update deployment

Posted on by Emad_Abed

Hi,

Every time there is an update to PAD, I have to log in to each PC with admin privilege in order to setup the update, there is no MSI only EXE so I cannot put it in Software Center, and employees cannot do it themself because it requires admin prevliage.

any clue or workaround?

Regards,

Emad

Off the top of my head, can your IT setup a PAD flow which remotes into each computer with Admin rights access and updates each PAD for them?

Nice idea, however, it has some cons:
- it jumps into users' PC and disturbing them.
- the PC/Laptop must be open at the time of flow running.
except that, it is really smart idea.

Actually, we managed to convert PAD exe to msi, so it can be deployed via Software Center, but we have to do this with every update.
