Perhaps we should just create MSI's and ship to their system
administrator :)

Well, it depends on what you want to achieve. Are you talking about an
internal setup, or something at a customers site?

Here's an overview over GP Preferences:

It's a very easy way to deploy files to multiple clients, without much
hassle and an extremely high degree of customizability and automation.
Fully scriptable, of course.

User's don't need to do anything to get files using GP preferences -
all the admin needs to do is to deploy the GPP CSO to the clients and
create an appropriate policy that has a file copy setting.

Using scripts to copy files to admin$ shares are another way, but they
only work with clients that are currently online. They've been
obsoloted by GPP.
