Hi

I would like to know if there is an option or facility to install BB Client on multiple servers at once remotely. I have to install BB Client in about 400 Servers and doing them one by one will consume lot of time to complete. Also if client configuration can be deployed the same way.

BB Client version 1.08d.

Any help on this greatly apreciated.

Thanks

Krishnan

Not really Hobbit specific, but ok ... 

The BBNT client has an option to perform a "silent install". It's a long
time since I worked with it, but I think it is described in either the
README or you can find it described on the BBNT mailing list archive.

As for the configuration, this is stored inside a subtree in the
registry. So you can export this tree to a .reg file, and then just
import this into each systems registry DB.
