Howdy Folders,
Say you're sitting there at your work, school, or local Internet Cafe and the admin says "Sure, please install FAH to all 200 of my machines, but can you do it in one minute? I have to go get some nachos."
You open your sweaty palm and look fondly at your USB flash drive keychain fob which holds your edited One-Click and wonder if "it's in you." Then a wave of cold reality set in as you know that there is not a set of Nike's in the world that will bring your butt across this whole room of blinking goodness fast enough.
As a tear forms on the corner of your eye you fall to your knees, tilt your head back, and cry out with arms raised to the heavens, "Why have you done this to meeeeeeeeeeee.....?" You wonder why the folding gods have dangled this carrot in front of you only to snatch it away for a Nachos Supreme with a Diet Coke.
Never Fear, Wedo's Here!
Introducing THE most kick arse install that has ever been brought forth from the loins of my secret underground dungeon.
-----------Neon Flashing Lights Here ----------------
The FAH Deployer Version 5.02
-----------Que Jay Leno Band------------------------
what, What, WHAT, you ask??? A simple way to install FAH on a network??? Like mana from heaven the warmth begins to rain over you.
One of our members (who shall remain nameless until he decides it's time for you to know) is about to throw down with a Mega-Borg. I'm talking about the kind of borg that would cause a rolling black out here in California. So he PM's me and asks if I have an easy way to install the One-Click on a network that contains more computers than politicians have lies. The One-Click can't really run as a network install without some advanced Admin skills taking advantage of Active Directory and the Group Policy editor. Even then you wouldn't be able to pick the machines you wanted to install FAH on and when the install would be initiated.
After a few hours of pounding the keys I have completely revamped an old network install from The Ultimate Install sticky and created a five step deployer that will enable an admin to install FAH as a service, with flags, on 1 to 1000 computers in about 30 seconds (longer for larger networks).
This can also be used to update your entire home network in one simple process as it will install FAH on any Windows workgroup or domain that you have admin rights and permission to do so.
The greatest thing about this install is that you have complete control over every aspect of installation. Say you want it to install on the computers for the reception office, but not to the web-server, no problem or you want to install half of the computers with one FAH username and the others with another name, again, no problem. You can also manipulate the client.cfg for all of the computers at once prior to running the final Install.bat or install some with one client.cfg, then others with an edited version (say to turn BigPackets on with some rigs, but not others).
Whoops, I think I just pee'd myself in all the excitement....
Anyway, download it from here and read the readme.txt!!!! I cannot stress this enough as you have in your hands a powerful tool that will add files, install a service, and edit the registry on every computer in your network... please use wisely, read the directions, and get permission first.
