What is the recommended method for installing Houdini builds across a network? We use Deadline so I had thought a good method could be to execute a batch script as a ‘maintenance job’ (which runs once for every machine) to do the install. I'm close but I can't get round Windows User Access Control (UAC) which requires the user to click accept (and I want it to be unattended/silent). This is the batch script I was using:

start /w S:\3D_globalSettings\houdini\builds\houdini-16.0.705-win64-vc14.exe /S /LicenseServer=Yes /DesktopIcon=Yes /FileAssociations=Yes /HoudiniServer=Yes /EngineUnity=No /EngineMaya=Yes /EngineUnreal=No /HQueueServer=No /HQueueClient=No /IndustryFileAssociations=Yes /LicenseServer=Yes /ForceLicenseServer=Yes /MainApp=Yes /Registry=Yes


Are there any alternatives for doing this? I don't really want to disable UAC as i've read that can be quite a big security risk so i'd like to find another workaround..
