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?

Look into psexec, MS bought it & the rest of that suite of tools, long ago and last I looked, still supported them. (Yep. Still do)

They were easily scripted, perfect for managing small labs, or OUs.
