What I eventually did:

- got Sysinternals' (now Microsoft) psexec utility from  
http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PsTools.zip
- copy psexec, the Bacula client installer and a textfile containing one  
server per line to a central location on the network
- use 'psexec.exe @servers.txt -c winbacula-2.4.4.exe /S' to silently  
install.
- 'psexec.exe @servers.txt -c sc failure Bacula-fd reset= 3600 actions=  
restart/5000/restart/5000/restart/5000' (set FD service to restart  
automatically in case of problems).
- bash script mounting admin shares + sed the config files into shape  
(passwords, client names, IP addresses etc.)
- start the service on each server with 'psexec @servers.txt sc start  
"Bacula-fd"'

Do the psexec stuff in a DOS box to see the output, not all services may  
start correctly immediately etc.
