No. Technically, you have to be able to start: cscript ... wpkg.js /flags preferably, at system start. Without Active Directory, you can easily do it with our WPKG Installer, or even with a Task Scheduler. As for packages, they have to be placed somewhere - it can be a local machine, a remote server etc. > Will it be > sufficient to just create a share on server which can be accesible by all > users.

"cscript ... wpkg.js ..." doesn't open or use any ports. However, if your paths are on a remote server, accessible via Network Neighbourhood (like \\server\share) - Network Neighbourhood uses ports: Port Number Traffic Type 445 Microsoft-DS 135 DCE endpoint resolution 136 137 NETBIOS Name Service 138 NETBIOS Datagram Service 139 NETBIOS session service -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users at lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users |
