Subject: [wpkg-users] WPKG client, win7 and run on shutdown

 Hello, We are looking at enableing wpkg for windows vista and windows 7 
workstations, the delayed logon does not work but this is not a limitation for 
us as we run it at shutdown[1]. On windows 7, the wpkg client do not run at 
shutdown, it looks like windows kill it before the end. Another option is to 
switch to wpkg-gp, but this on do not run at shutdown[2]. Any idea who do to 
it? Regards. Footnotes: [1] We do not want to run at startup to avoid delay 
before people can work, they do not like waiting before checking their mails 
;-) [2] We tests using a shutdown script which start wpkg client (configured to 
run at startup) and loop 30 times making 6 pings every 10 seconds waiting for 
the service to stop, not really sexy. -- Daniel Dehennin RAIP de l'Orne
Disclaimer: my english is read-only.

 I use wpkclient at shutdown for the same reasons (on Windows XP).
 I tested it on Vista and had the same problems as you
 (it’s being killed after about 30 seconds).
 I did a detailed post about a year ago, but nobody responded.

 After your post I resumed testing on Vista:
 I changed some registry settings with no success.
 I assume wpkgclient is not supposed to work on Vista/7
 and I assume it will not be fixed
 (it would be useful if the developers clarified this).

 I considered nightly updates, but apparently GPO shutdown scripts works.
 I use wpkgmessage.exe from contrib for visual feedback
 (you have to expose GPO scripts and hide the cmd window,
 otherwise everyone can kill it or worse).
 The timeout for GPO scripts must be increased, I tested 3600 seconds.
 gpsvc service PreshutdownTimeout must be increased too, I used 360 ms.

 Tests with ping 127.0.0.1 -n 1200 and –n 3000 were successessful.
 An installation of Java was apparently successful
 (I’m not familiar with Vista file and registry virtualization).
 I’ll do further testing, but for now I have to suspend.

[wpkg-users] wpkgclient on shutdown on Vista

[Puffo Blu]

I use wpkgclient on shutdown on Windows XP.
I'm testing it on Vista, but it reboots after about 30 seconds.
I know the GUI doesn't work because it can not interact with the desktop.

DETAILS:
Vista Business SP1 32 bit italian
UAC disabled
No antivirus (for testing)
wpkgclient installed as administrator (cmd as administrator, msiexec /i ... )
wpkgclient-1.3.14, in the past I tried other versions, from 1.3.6 on
After I discovered the problem I simplified the wpkg configuration for testing 
purposes.

SYMPTOMS:
wpkgclient start wpkg.js but after about 30 seconds the client reboots during 
the execution of the package command.
The wpkg log is truncated
