 had a couple of apps that I had used in the past, one would
scan a
network for clients, could start & stop remotely, push
an INI file, and I
think it could do a complete install remotely.  I've just
forgotten the
name of it.   
 It stopped working for me a couple of years ago, when my
network at work
got stricter, and I could not run it anymore.  I recently
had to go to a
bunch of my machines and shut down the clients, more network
security BS.

Distributed Cows looks like that was the program, but the
download page
seems to be 404.  Maybe someone here has it archived ?

archive.org has the html-pages but not the binaries behind:
