Revit updates on multiple computers

[agearey]

How can I silently install Revit updates that are usually .EXE's to multiple computers at the same time?  We have been using PDQ Deploy which works for .MSI's or .MST's but for whatever reason .EXE's always fail.

All I want to do is install one update without having to physically go to every computer in my firm and install it manually.  Editing my deployment doesn't do me any good either because all my user's computers already have Revit installed, unless there is some way to install a single update using the deployment without having to uninstall and reinstall Revit.

Thanks!

We are looking for a solution for that as well. We have about 100 PCs using Autodesk products and maintaining versions and updates of Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, etc, as well as all our plugins for them has turned into a really difficult task 😞 Our sysAdmin claims this is impossible, but I doubt there is no way to do that. Otherwise, how are companies with thousands of employees handling these processes

I think this is more a IT issue than a AutoDesk issue or other software issue.

Autodesk has a Manager to install updates (not sure it it can be modified for IT's to control what updates are available)

Issue with for instance Revit is you can't deploy it silent, it's simply to big and can't update certain parts if Revit is running, so user interaction is needed (or a X-days to update message??)

At my company they have their own software center where all updates are listed (for approved software/update versions) which the user can select to update which also checks if the software is running. With a former company they had also a update notification to users of software they were using. So should be possible.

If you're on Autodesk subscription ask the reseller?
