Jim, perhaps the easiest thing to do is to send each location a CD that will
allow you to perform silent installs/upgrades to each PC.
I'll see if I can find the link to building the routine. I did it a few
years ago, and we upgraded 30 locations for a client in about half a day.
The branch managers were responsible for putting in the CD and responding to
the message issued by the autorun program. Each machine took 5-7 minutes
each, depending on the speed of the CD drive.

You have "issues" if you need to change all these PC's because of IP/DNS

It's the current project to fix those issues while changing servers.
This customer has suffered years of various net managers, often
as a result of various corporate merger & splits, and finally getting
control of their own network (plus a new i5).
For a testing phase we will have both systems on the network, one
live & one test - and then the big switch (which should be just a dns
change and recently mentioned smtp change).
The problem here is many hundreds of users in 30 physical locations,
so a script is what we will build to update the .ws.
