is there a way to push out windows defender to client computers over a
network? I am not running WUS. there are about 60 machines that I want to
install defender on. it is a mix of XP and 2000 clients. I wanted to do it
through a log on script with no user intervention needed.

Thanks
Dan
 
Windows Defender is distributed as a .MSI file. The standard switches on
MSIEXEC work just fine for silent installation and uninstall.

The install is not completely silent--because the UI appears, and initiates
a definition update and a quickscan fillowing.

With Windows 2000 you have the added complexity of needing to provide the
gdiplus.dll file in %windir%\system32.
