Workstation Lacerte updates

We are a tax firm that uses Lacerte Tax software.  During tax season, there can be 2 or 3 updates in a week.  Doing updates across 5 workstations is tedious and can only be done in off hours for the user.

The software is on-prem server install.  When an update is pushed to the server, the workstations will not allow login to Lacerte until the update is completed.

I need a way to automate this.  I have played with the MSI update worklet to re-run the install each time, but that does not work.  Has anyone else done something similar?

I’d use that MSI and make sure to log output when that runs to figure out what its doing. Or in your case not doing. 

add this to your msi install string 

/l*v "C:\windows\temp\log.log"
