Install my MSI to remote machine without physical access
Hello everyone.
Is it possible to create my MSI such way, that it can install to remote machine, without my physical access to it ? That machine (lets call it target machine)is in domain and has network access.

There's not really a built-in way to push an installer; common practice is to use SMS, Active Directory, or any of a number of deployment systems.

AFAIK, Active Directory allows installing MSIs only after logon. What if I need immediate installation? And what if it's a server machine, when there's nobody can be logged in for log time? I need to install only one small windows service.
AFAIK, SMS is a System Management Server, which has to be installed manually. That's also not the way it has to be. we cant persuade avary domain admin to install that.
And what other ways can be? WMI? If yes, is there any possibility to use it from my MSI?
