No, you have 100,000 users at 2,000 sites around
the globe constantly installing software
(approximately 2000 different software applications).

kinda like apple has 22,000,000 users at 5,000,000 sites around the
world, all installing huge 50-200MB updates without issue.

Sorry, that would be 12 minutes versus a couple of
hours that would clog up a wide area network
connection and impact other users at the site from
doing their work.
You're either crazy or have a super slow network.
Do you know what latency is, besides bandwidth?
Add in Exchange and AD traffic replication, plus
client traffic to SAP servers at centralized data
centers and internet traffic and there is not a
lot of free bandwidth at 512k sites, for example.
No way do you install applications over links
like that. Try to even BUY more speed in a
country like Mexico or Trinidad. It's just not
available.

it's simply not an issue. maybe for exchange server, but not for OSX
server, apple does it all the time.

You obviously don't have experience in an
environment like this. I do.
Actually, I do. And can completely tell you have been caught lying just
to try and prove your ignorant viewpoint.
How have I been caught lying? I have years of
experience at one of tbhe top 25 companies in the
world architecture and supporting a giant global
single-domain Windows 2000 Active Directory
infrastructure.

but you are using poorly crafted code, so how in the world would you
know what the top 10% of IT people use? your problem seems to be
microsoft based, that's why you are confused on this topic.

Poorly crafted code? Whatever.

No one came back and said how all this could be
done with Apple, but nevermind.

You set up Open Directory, such that machines receive their
configuration info on such things as network shares for applications,
fonts, etc. from their most local server as specified in Open Directory.
