A few months ago, a customer contacted us with a problem. Customer has to
install and update software on remote computers in their LAN.

350+ Windows 7 machines (with UAC enabled)
70+ Windows 8.0 machines (with UAC enabled)
20+ Windows 8.1 machines (with UAC enabled)

Customer is adding 3-4 new machines per month to the LAN.

The installations and updates need administrator execution level privileges
(run elevated). At the moment, users have to download the setup.exe /
update.exe from the server (admins send the links via email) and do a manual
install. Sometimes, users simply "forget" to download the update and the
admins run around from computer to computer to "fix" the issue. Customers
goal is to automate the software delivery process.

This coming weekend, customer will start a test run of an internal (and
experimental) SetupBuilder add-on: SBRemote

SBRemote connects to the specified computer, transfers the SetupBuilder
image to the client and performs the install / update.

We're very excited to see the results of their tests on UAC-enabled
machines. Will it fail, or succeed? Time will tell <g>
