True, although user impatience isn't limited to software installation ;-) We've used Group Policy to assign packages and generally the process is pretty smooth but if we're undertaking a major roll-out then we'll communicate this to the users ahead of time and potentially schedule installs to suit

Many thanks for the quick response. I'm still canvassing my pilot group of users about what they'd like to see when the software is working its magic but I think the WPKG message will be more useful than the generic Windows 'Running Startup Scripts...' message. Unfortunately I've yet to see the W
