Silent install from intranet

[rbb]

I have written a fairly detailed app that takes an inventory of a system, which we our using for company deployed machines. Using our Novell network, we push the app out during their login. The problem comes from our remote locations - they won't log onto the network for weeks at a time because it takes quite a few minutes to actually log in over the WAN.

 

So, my question is can I silently copy this app into a directory and make a registry change to have it run on startup? Our company policy for IE intranet security settings is to have it on low, so the possibility of IE blocking it is minimized.

 

The reason I ask is because every employee hits my intranet site whether they logged into the network or not, and it seems to be the best platform to distribute.

 

Thought? Concerns?

 

Thanks,
