Deploying report to multiple locations

We would like to be able to publish a report to more than 1 directory at the
same time. Is this or would this be possible? Currently, we deploy the base
report to a central location and create linked reports to all other locations.The benefit of using linked reports is that updating the report contents of
the original report will update the linked reports automatically. Note:
report parameters and data source settings won't get updated because they
are administrated separately for linked reports.

Will it be possible to create a linked report, but have the ability to
select multiple locations at the same time? Rather than having to do each one
individually.
Thank you!

since creating a linked report is just a SOAP-call (look for
CreateLinkedReport in BOL), you could write a RSS script which creates
multiple linked reports in a sequence.
