ODBC Driver Needed?

  • Hello all, I use Access for the front end and am using SQL Server 2016 for the back end.  I am ready to start testing a few things on another computer, but I am not able to connect to the server on the other computer.  I did not install the driver on that computer because I am looking for a way to create a connection to the server without having to go to all the computers in the plant to install a driver.
    Is it possible to do this via code?  A bat file maybe?
    Can this be done (Active Directory environment) by the IT admin as some sort of group update/setting?
    Thanks for your advice.

    Yes software can be installed via GPO. The necessarily drivers may already be installed though so you would want to check into that as well.
    I'd discuss these issues with the IT admin.
