Hi guys,
am managing a small office network and i would like to know if there's a way to install a software from my computer to all other computers in the networ, and if i can manage each individually and remotely.
Any suggestion is welcome!

A concise, practical plan that builds on and : the right method depends on whether endpoints are joined to Active Directory and how many machines must be managed.

For a domain/AD environment the least‑manual route is Group Policy software deployment for MSI packages: put the MSI on a read‑only UNC share, create a GPO that assigns the package to Computer Configuration, and let clients install at next reboot (or force with gpupdate). For non‑MSI installers use a startup script or repackage into MSI first. Microsoft guidance is here: .

For small workgroup fleets or one‑off pushes, remote command execution is lightweight and scriptable. Enable remote management and run installers silently from your admin box; PowerShell Remoting or the Sysinternals remote exec tool make this repeatable. Test silent switches, confirm exit codes, and collect logs for verification. See PowerShell remoting basics here: and the Sysinternals utility here: PsExec (Sysinternals).

For ongoing, larger deployments use an endpoint management platform (Configuration Manager / modern Endpoint Manager) to handle packaging, scheduling, OS compatibility, detection, and staged reboots—this scales and reduces manual work: . For day‑to‑day per‑machine tasks, Windows Admin Center centralizes many remote admin functions: Windows Admin Center overview.

Practical cautions: always test on a spare machine, verify vendor silent‑install switches, plan maintenance windows for reboots, and keep rollback/uninstall steps documented. Common sizing guideline: script/remote tools for <~10 machines, GPO or light deployment tools for ~10–50, and a formal endpoint manager for larger environments.

There are many methods to do both. Can you give more information such as price range, reboot requirements and so on so we can give better suggestions that might help rather than thing's I am sure you've seen in google (if you did not know what to google "Mass App Deployment" turns up quite a few good results. As for remote control theres logmein teamviwer vnc, rdp, and so on.
