I also tried to run the client at shutdown, but in Windows 7, that doesn't really work well. Windows didn't let the wpkg service finish it's tasks before shutting down. I replaced the client with Wpkg-gp, and it seems to work well (at startup, before the logon screen appears). I used this to

G'day I have encountered an interesting behaviour with the VBScript on the Wiki that pulls Computers in an AD according to their OU which allows re-using this for OU-named profiles: We have OU's that have non-ASCII characters. Notepad++ shows the then-generated hosts.xml correctly when I switch t

I'm trying to change some of our computers to run WPKG during shutdown. I've used wpkgclient to change the setting, and saved it. I have a package (Adobe Reader) which should deploy to the computer.
