What I eventually did: - got Sysinternals' (now Microsoft) psexec utility from http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PsTools.zip - copy psexec, the Bacula client installer and a textfile containing one server per line to a central location on the network - use 'psexec.exe @servers.txt -c winbacula-2.4.4.exe /S' to silently install. - 'psexec.exe @servers.txt -c sc failure Bacula-fd reset= 3600 actions= restart/5000/restart/5000/restart/5000' (set FD service to restart automatically in case of problems). - bash script mounting admin shares + sed the config files into shape (passwords, client names, IP addresses etc.) - start the service on each server with 'psexec @servers.txt sc start "Bacula-fd"' Do the psexec stuff in a DOS box to see the output, not all services may start correctly immediately etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
