PDQ Deploy

PDQ Deploy is a fast, agentless Windows software deployment and patch automation software utility engineered for systems administrators and IT teams to automate the silent installation, updating, and uninstallation of Windows software across corporate local area networks. Widely favored by IT administrators for its simplicity, speed, and lack of client-side agent overhead, PDQ Deploy operates directly from an administrator's Windows workstation or server, leveraging Windows administrative protocols (SMB and RPC) to execute tasks silently on target machines. The platform features an extensive, pre-built Package Library containing regularly tested and updated installation packages for hundreds of common third-party Windows applications, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Java, and 7-Zip. Administrators can schedule automated multi-step deployment packages that execute command-line scripts, copy configuration files, stop conflicting services, and reboot machines automatically. When paired with PDQ Inventory, PDQ Deploy enables dynamic, intelligent targeting: software updates are automatically deployed exclusively to machines that are currently reported as having outdated software versions. PDQ Deploy provides systems administrators with an indispensable tool for keeping Windows enterprise fleets pristine, up to date, and protected from software vulnerabilities.
