Can I remotely install the Operating system on remote system???? If yes please need your help. I want to use my pc resources like CD played to install OS on client side??
Can I, if yes How? I have a tight VNC connected to both the system and I can access the client's system from my desktop.

Your help or opinion is greatly appreciated.

Even IF you did, I don't believe you can push an OS install from the outside into the client computer unless you're sitting at a server and the network/domain is set up to allow pushing out things to workstations within the same domain.

Many NOCs that handle retail stores use this method to download and install image software and price lists for cash registers. Large companies sometimes ship out workstations to sites without any O/S [theft and data protection] and use RIS imaging [with answer files].

Note: the actual image is on a server on the locak subnet [as is the RIS server].

The one thing your question implies is pushing out an image file over a WAN link to a workstation. If this is a dedicated line, security isn't so much of a problem. If it's over the internet, then security would be a problem.

I HAVE A DELL system on client side, so licencing is not a an issue.
the client have a problem , so security is not a problem AND I AM CONNECTED THROUGH VPN TO THE CLIENT.

But i do agree that i will not be able to install OS OR ANY OTHER SOFTWARE USING MY PC RESOURCES(using my system as a virtual PC to client's pc). I think that answer my question.
Finally I LEARNED THAT I CAN NOT PUSH THE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION UNTIL I AM IN A SAME DOMAIN.
Thank you for your reply.
