Desktop Central No Longer Deploying Autodesk Software

A couple weeks ago I set up packages in DC to deploy various autodesk software. Because autodesk creates silent install packages using .lnk files, and since DC can't handle .lnk files, I had to create a batch file that launches the .lnk file and silently installs the software.

This worked perfectly until a week ago. Now, pushing the software doesn't seem to install the software unless I choose "install as" and then sign in with my network credentials under "run as user." That wouldn't be the end of the world except when I choose that option, it also forces me to copy the folder to the client machine, and the folder is 2 gigs in size and I'd rather not have to copy 2gb worth of install data locally to user machines.

As far as I know, nothing on our network has changed that would cause such a thing. Has anyone run into this before? Why would I be able to install as system user two weeks ago and not be able to do so today? I need help as this is blocking us completely from being able to push autodesk products to end user machines and Manage Engine support has been 100% useless in solving this issue, as usual.
