I thought this was the right place to ask, let me know if somewhere else was better.

I have a classroom in a public school with around 30 PCs (windows) I need to install software on (python and codium). They are all the same PCs. In the past there was a management system but due to some licensing issues that does not work anymore.

How its been done before: Go to each and every PC and setup everything manually, or do it once and mirror the HDD 30 times … both ways very time consuming.

I thought there might be a better way to do this, do you have any idea?

    Are they domain joined? You could always use active directory to do a mass install. I like RZget from Ruckzuck but I’m sure there are plenty of similar tools.

    Another option is to use SSH and clusterssh to run commands on each machine. Its more of a Linux solution but it should work assuming you willing to go around and add the same public key to each machine.
