ABC-Deploy is a policy-driven software deployment and inventory tool for Windows networks.
What ABC-Deploy is
ABC-Deploy is a policy-driven software deployment and inventory tool for Windows networks. Administrators can install or uninstall software and maintain software user profiles on client systems. Deployment tasks support technologies including MSI, EXE, BAT, Reg, and VBS, and can be assigned using organizational unit or Active Directory group membership, hardware configuration, or computer name. The tool gathers searchable hardware and software inventory, which can optionally be stored in MS SQL or exported to Excel. Its cloud Package Store provides ready-to-deploy tasks; PRO license users can download and edit them. PRO also includes Windows AD integration, an MS Update dashboard, and remote command and registry tools. ABC-Deploy uses an agent deployment method and has a web app option for remote workers without VPN. The console requires Microsoft Windows XP or later, .NET Framework 2.0 or higher, and an administrator account. Targets require Windows and .NET Framework 2.0 or higher for inventory collection. The free license is unlimited in time and client count but has limited Package Store access. PRO costs €10 per client per year, including updates and support; a client is counted if it reported to the server in the last 30 days.
