Chocolately

@Dashrender Best comparison I know that you might be familiar with (though it's not super close) is Ninite which is a sweet program. You can create one installer that's ~150kb and it'll go to the web and download & install all your commonly used programs with one click and one UAC auth. Not only is it awesome for a fresh windows install, it'll also update all the same programs if they're already installed.
Chocolately is kinda like that, but command line

Ninite pro has command line and remote deploy as well. But they aren't quite the same.

Chocolately is really trying to emulate the Linux package managers. It works surprisingly well for being a windows application.

Didn't know that it had CLI! Sweet! Yeah they're pretty close though, as close as I could think of

Yeah I used it to update Flash, Java, Chrome, Reader on our non-domain public kiosk computers at the county. I just had a batch file that would run every week and during a time when DriveVaccine was set to unlocked and then would save the updates in the baseline.

@thecreativeone91 Yup, I have the same hit-list for our computers here, but we do firefox and VLC in addition

for the last few posts, are you talking about Ninite or Cholocately?

You could easily script Chcolately too, so they would work for either. I assume @thecreativeone91 is talking about Ninite though.

Yeah it was Ninite pro.

I'm not sure how legal some of Cholocately's packages are especially in regards to Adobe Flash, And Reader. You have to have a license to distribute those and they have to be tied to a company. Even when using the MSI to push out to a domain I apply for a distribution license.
