I thought this was the right place to ask, let me know if somewhere else was better.

I have a classroom in a public school with around 30 PCs (windows) I need to install software on (python and codium). They are all the same PCs. In the past there was a management system but due to some licensing issues that does not work anymore.

How its been done before: Go to each and every PC and setup everything manually, or do it once and mirror the HDD 30 times … both ways very time consuming.

I thought there might be a better way to do this, do you have any idea?

      This is the answer for such a small group of machines. Have chatgpt write a script that runs X on every device in a list. Then have X be the install from a network share.

        Then, with the script it made, double check every line and confirm it didn’t make shit up.
