I second Rainer's advice.

The problem is the following section from wpkg-check.log:

Hosts file contains 18 hosts:
'name=adelatorre2','profile-id=default64'
'name=demo7','profile-id=demo'
'name=severett2','profile-id=newdefault64'
'name=DBROOKS','profile-id=dbrooks'
'name=.+','profile-id=default'
'name=rsmart2','profile-id=newdefault64'
'name=jomiles','profile-id=is-staff'
'name=searchroom4','profile-id=searchroom'
'name=DBROOKS','profile-id=dbrooks'
'name=jbaughn','profile-id=default64'
'name=jbaughn2','profile-id=default64'
'name=adelatorre','profile-id=default64'
'name=plieb','profile-id=default64'
'name=checkout1','profile-id=checkout1'
'name=rquinn2','profile-id=default64'
'name=sokolsky','profile-id=is-staff'
'name=morrisey','profile-id=default64'
'name=jgardner2','profile-id=newdefault64'

As you can see the definition "'name=jomiles','profile-id=is-staff'" is located after 
"'name=.+','profile-id=default'", which
results in any of the following machines using the default profile.

It seems that you have set up one hosts file for each machine, where it would 
be more practical to have one hosts file for each
department or room.
You even have two dbrooks hosts files as it seems, that is really strange.

In your case I would even use only one hosts file, since there are not so much 
hosts.

Finally, I have never had a need to use the match-all ".+" pattern.

If we could get some insight on your environment, we will be able to give you 
better help.

You are exactly right. I only had the catch all as we had previously had some pc's that we didn't care to setup proper hostnames as they were only in the setup bay for a day then out in the field never to return, or get updates for that matter. The reason I had two for my pc is I was testing something but the duplicate has been removed. I have solved the issue I think by removing the default entry and placing it in the \\management\wpkg\hosts.xml file. But now that we don't really have a "need" for the default entry I have removed it altogether.

In reply to your second message the host running this is CentOS 5.6 running samba-3.0.33. But now that I have removed the default entry all seems to be doing well. Thanks to all for the help on this. You guys totally rock!
