Does anyone have any recommendations or tips as to how to install software on multiple servers in a Win32/COM+ environment? At work, we are doing all the installs and updates to our software manually, and it is killing us!

I have heard that you can do this sort of thing with Windows Installer/MSI, but I was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations, or even tips for what tools might be useful.

In a *NIX environment, I would probably just use something like rsync, or shell scripts over ssh.

Any constructive thoughts are welcome.

my idea would be to build one machine then 'norton ghost' the rest across a network.
