Hi Matthew, A simple answer to your question is that you can delay the WPKG service from starting as you can with any Windows service. We do this on new Windows 7 images which are syspreped. They boot, join a domain, reboot then the WPKG is delayed and then starts installing. You could also add an entry to task scheduler to restart the service periodically to pick up changes or new packages. Paul

I've been looking into WPKG and it looks like it can be very useful for my needs. It is my understanding that the client looks for packages to install when the system boots. The information I have found has not been extremely clear. What happens when WPKG can't talk to the server? With a wireless laptop, will WPKG wait until the wireless connection come ups to attempt to contact the server? If not, when do updates get applied? I have a few labs of Windows Vista/7 laptops. I would like to push out various updates. What I don't want to happen is for a user to login and start working and then have the programs they using update. Also, occasionally some of these laptops will go offsite where they won't have access to the WPKG file share. It is also my understanding there is no status displayed to the users unless if WPKG-GP is used, correct? Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
