Best way to standardize application setup across multiple users on lab computer.
O.S: Windows 10.
Hello, good day to everyone.
A junior here, I would like to ask for your support and guidance.
I am currently performing maintenance tasks on approximately 20 computers in a computer lab. Each machine has four user accounts, organized by educational level.
The main issue is that the installation and configuration of applications must be done individually for each user, which means repeating the same process around 80 times.
I tried to optimize this procedure using cloning tools such as Clonezilla; however, due to differences in hardware architecture and disk capacity, I was unable to make it work.
As an alternative, I managed to automate user creation and the execution of installers with Batch and PowerShell, but it is still necessary to manually open and configure each application in every user profile.
Is there any tool that allows this process to be streamlined, avoiding manual configuration per user on each machine?
Thank you in advance for your time and for any recommendations you may provide. Thank you very much.
Real talk, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s where the disagreement starts Let’s see what happens next.
Stepping back, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s the impression it gives me.
Just reading this, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome That’s what makes this interesting.
From where I sit, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That part stands out. Let’s see what happens next.
At first glance, this comes across more reactive than planned which is why this is getting picked apart
I get the idea, this solves one problem while creating another That’s what makes this interesting. Others will probably see it differently.
Not gonna lie, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s just how it reads to me. That’s the impression it gives me.
Without overthinking it, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that tension shows up immediately That’s what makes this interesting. Let’s see what happens next. That’s just my read on it.
Looking at this, the timing matters more than people admit and that friction is hard to ignore Others will probably see it differently.
the main issue seems to be how this is handled That’s the key detail here. This could age very differently in a week.
Looking at this, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s what people are responding to Let’s see what happens next.
At first glance, the wording alone shifts how people read this That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s just my read on it.
From my side, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which is why the comments look the way they do

From a practical angle, the way this is presented changes how it lands That part stands out. Let’s see what happens next.
Stepping back, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that friction is hard to ignore Not convinced this is settled yet.
Not gonna lie, this reads stronger on paper than in practice Interested to see the follow-up. At least from my perspective.

From a practical angle, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where it gets complicated This could age very differently in a week.
On the surface, this feels like a half-step, not a full move so the response doesn’t surprise me Others will probably see it differently.

Reaction: Stay safe
From my side, the main issue seems to be how this is handled Interested to see the follow-up.
the timing matters more than people admit which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what changes the context. That’s the impression it gives me.
On the surface, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which turns this into more of a debate Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s just my read on it.
To be fair, the follow-through is what will decide this which turns this into more of a debate That’s the key detail here. Feels like there’s more coming here.
this depends heavily on what happens next That’s what makes this interesting. We’ll see how people react over time. That’s just my read on it.

Real talk, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which explains why reactions are split That’s the key detail here. This probably isn’t the last word on it.
Reaction: Just...why??
From where I sit, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s where people will push back That’s the key detail here. Let’s see what happens next. Others will probably see it differently.
the follow-through is what will decide this Hard to say where this lands long term.
Just reading this, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which turns this into more of a debate This probably isn’t the last word on it.
At this point, this solves one problem while creating another Interested to see the follow-up. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage That’s what makes this interesting. That’s the impression it gives me.
I get the idea, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why this is getting picked apart Interested to see the follow-up. Others will probably see it differently.

Not gonna lie, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where the disagreement starts
