Remote install of minifilter

NTFSD

Is there any recommend way to install a minifilter remotely without using
SMS, Group policy, etc…
Normally, I would just use remote registry, remote admin shares, and remote
SCM calls, but installing a minifilter “requires” using an INF file.

any ideas?

You can install it using CreateService (although I understand that Longhorn
will require an INF file – can anyone confirm this?)

But you still must run a program that invokes CreateService and it must be
run as an Administrator. There’s the rub.

Ultimately, something on the workstation must “pull” the installation
procedure – there is no “push” that I’m aware of that survived XP SP2.
