Of course I did so. The second workstation was used to generate settings.xml, 
which was uploaded to the first one by deployment script, before WPKG client 
was installed.

Yes, I do so. I chose this, because I do want to use and deploy user account 
with the administrative priviles in the domain, as well as the password for 
that account. If it is possible to run under system account, in impersonated 
environment, I think, it is best solution.

That would be best. I do want to switch to dedicated user+password scenario, as 
it is less secure and has a weak point, if the password changes/expires, user 
account is disabled, or any other accident.

I can do that, but is this the only solution? If so, then I think, that I will 
fall back to the first mode - when Active Directory Startup script calls 
wpkg.bat, and this one calls wpkg.js, which in turn runs the deployment cycle. 
I will not use client in such case. This is because, if I understand the 
documentation correctly, then the client does not work in NT 6.0/6.1 - vista+w7.

Hmz. Maybe then it would be good idea to rewrite error handling routine to 
output failure indicating exact reason of the failure.

This is testing scenario, with only one isolated workstation. Of course in the 
production it will be changed back.
